Of course I entered the above ‘joke’ not realizing the situation in consideration further up the page. My apologies again. It certainly sounds like good news though, nice to hear, best of luck !
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/10/31/what-to-look-for-ballot-vs-votes-iteration-4-0/
Remember, because the way we value voting rights as a fundamental right for Americans, in every case of ballot review the election system comes from a predisposition that every arriving ballot is valid and authentic. Issues of doubt are weighted heavily in favor of the submission. It is rare to have a voting ballot disqualified by a system designed to protect voting ballots. Those who intentionally support fraud, count on this predisposition of validity [See Marc Elias].
If this perspective is accurate, and there’s no reason to think it is not, then election integrity focus on polling places is wasted energy. The real venues that should be getting the majority of attention are ballot tabulation centers. That is where incoming ballots need to be authenticated before they enter any scanning system to record the vote.
Once the ballot is scanned and tabulated, it’s over. There will never be a process to reverse or remove a legally recorded vote, even if that ballot is fraudulent.

Here’s the genius Mark Cuban insulting women
https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1852016972797456882
@ eaglesoars:
Cuban clarifies
Let’s clarify something. This is what I said during a conversation about why Nikki Haley was not active in his campaign
“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever. It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.”
I’m happy to clarify that
1. I know many strong, intelligent women voting for Trump. Including in my extended family. I’m certainly not saying female voters are not smart , strong and intelligent.
2. I know he has worked with strong intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka and many others
I stand by my opinion that he does not like being challenged publicly.

The Colorado voting machine password leak gets worse…again
SoS Jena Griswold leaked the passwords *months* ago, not 5 days ago as previously mentioned
However upon being informed of the “leak”, she withheld that scandal for 5 days from county clerks
Now Colorado is scrambling to fix all these potentially hacked voting machines 4 days before the election
She never thought people would find out
She tried to hide the “leak”
But she got caught and it’s a class 5 felony

This is the 1st year since we’ve been here that the kids have trick-or-treated door to door. Usually, there’s a one-stop shop at the cul-de-sac where we all congregate with candy etc. but this year the kids rebelled. They want to go to each house. Much better. Somebody had a van w/about 10 kids they used to transport them from neighborhood to neighborhood. Good idea since the road to get to this development can be busy. Anyhoo, we had about 25 kids, some of the costumes were really great. About an hour as it gets dark early and there is school tomorrow but it was fun.

There were 2 other dogs playing fetch with sticks in the water. He wanted to join them, but he was afraid to go out where they were. I kept throwing the stick a little further each time, and eventually he was out far enough that he was swimming. It took about an hour.
Beneath the headlines, there are technical events taking place that are fundamentally affecting the ability of any historian even to look back and tell what is happening. Incredibly, the service Archive.org which has been around since 1994 has stopped taking images of content on all platforms. For the first time in 30 years, we have gone a long swath of time – since October 8-10 – since this service has chronicled the life of the Internet in real time.
As of this writing, we have no way to verify content that has been posted for three weeks of October leading to the days of the most contentious and consequential election of our lifetimes. Crucially, this is not about partisanship or ideological discrimination. No websites on the Internet are being archived in ways that are available to users. In effect, the whole memory of our main information system is just a big black hole right now.
The trouble on Archive.org began on October 8, 2024, when the service was suddenly hit with a massive Denial of Service attack (DDOS) that not only took down the service but introduced a level of failure that nearly took it out completely. Working around the clock, Archive.org came back as a read-only service where it stands today. However, you can only read content that was posted before the attack. The service has yet to resume any public display of mirroring of any sites on the Internet.

The IDF eliminated Hamas’s National Relations head Izz al-Din Kassab on Friday in Khan Yunis, Gaza, who was also one of the last remaining members of the terrorist organization’s political bureau still inside the Palestinian enclave.
The strike that killed Kassab was completed based on IDF and ISA intelligence. His assistant Ayman Ayesh was also killed in the strike.
He was also responsible for Hamas’s relations and cooperation, whether strategic or military, with other terrorist organizations within the Gaza Strip such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

@ eaglesoars:
I very strongly resemble that remark.
The closer we get to Election Day, the site Polymarket shows a close race.
Yes, Trump is still up, but it’s about 10 points closer than it was less than two weeks ago.
I have a plan…
Currently it is taking over six hours for people to vote after they join the line to get into the voting place.
I already stated why, a voter form is tens of pages of options. Vote for president of the USA at the top and right down to voting on who drives the dog catcher truck on Tuesday and Friday.
I propose making the line much longer, it may cause early voting for a November election to start in June, but my plan will make sure anyone voting is well informed.
The plan, before anyone can vote they take a civics test, as in what is a state, what is federal, who does what.
If they fail the test then lucky for them they get to go home early. But they are NOT allowed to vote.
To be continued.
Republican activists say they have to water down the reality of their opponents’ agenda in focus groups. ‘They just don’t believe it’s true. It can’t be.‘

Congressman Longworthy
I join many of my constituents and people around the country who have contacted my office today, angry and demanding answers from Governor Kathy Hochul’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Reports are that following their unannounced raid of a home in Chemung County, the DEC Agents have gone ahead and unnecessarily killed their animals. The pet owner has not been afforded due process, and now his pets are dead.
This action comes today as reports have emerged of an illegal immigrant raping a five-year-old on Long Island. This demonstrates the Hochul Administration’s deranged level of misguided priorities. In New York State, we have sanctuaries for illegal immigrants while innocent pets are killed.
I demand answers and will push until the administration comes clean.

Continuation.
Allred (D) is running against Cruz (R) for a seat in the US Senate in Washington DC representing Texas.
Allred’s campaign is swamping ads with his pro-abortion and women’s reproductive health issues. Blaming Cruz for Texas’s very strict abortion laws.
Allred states that if he is elected to the US Senate he will fight for women’s abortion rights.
The abortion laws in Texas have bugger all to do with US Senate, it is a STATE legislation.
Allred is criticizing Cruz for the state of the Texas power grid infrastructure. That is a STATE issue, not a US Senate issue.
Basically Allred is campaigning on issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the US Senate position he is running for, but dumb uneducated voters will not realise that.,

Just got one and now am craving Ramen noodles, chicken and teriyaki sauce with bean sprouts.
The English version of that alert will probably get to me in a few hours….
come on gators
wait wut? gag
can’t believe I just said that
@ Possum:
LOL, SCORE!
I has a can of bean sprouts, some frozen but cooked chicken breast, low calorie teriyaki sauce, and some of those spirally pasta things that if I use my imagination I could pretend they are Ramen noodles.
Thank you Homeland Security for giving me a great lunch idea.
Now, about these emergency alerts, is English an option?

Well as I was bored and the fur on my face was pissing me off and the hair on my head was annoying I decided to do something about it.
A side note, my weekly order of a 5L box of Cabernet Sauvignon and the 30 pack of Busch Light arrived a couple of hours ago.
So, after a few coffee mugs of wine then into the bathroom we go with the buzzy clipper things! I got this, I can do it my myself!
Was doing great until the buzzy thing quit.
Now I look like a cross between Bruce Willis doing things and a character from Mad Max 4.
Recharging buzzy thing…
@ Possum:
And if buzzy thing is broke and not just needing recharging then I is going to need a hat delivered so I can Uber to a barber shop….
@ Possum:
Buzzy just needed a charge!
Mission accomplished. I now, with a shaved face and a shaved head look like a Bond movie villain. The one that escaped, with his cats….
Also I now look like the picture on my driver licence and Green Card.
Cats don’t care what I look like as long as I feeds them.

dang those look good
@ Possum:
He’s a Democrat. What do you expect him to do, campaign on what he actually believes and plans to do if elected?
I saw the dumbest campaign sign today. It was a Harris/Walz sign with the slogan “A New Way Forward.”
There was a picture of Walz on one side, and a picture of Harris on the other. Both were in 3/4 profile, which means that they appear to be looking in different directions.
How can they lead anyone to “a new way forward” when they can’t even agree on which direction to go?
A music post.
Currently I am down a rabbit hole and back to the 70’s and synthesizers. The keyboardy things that make really cool sounds.
In the beginning they were analogue and could only play one note at a time, as distinct to electric organs and electric pianos at that time. They were polyphonic, as in they could play more than one note at a time.
Anyway if you do not believe me then then watch any music video from the 70’s where someone playing a synth is featured. One note at a time.
Synths in them days were one volt per octave, and dumb people think an octave is 6 notes but it is actually 12.
Anyway, you get a voltage from the keyboard which is then sent to a VCO, Voltage Controlled Oscillator which makes the note. Also other things control the VCF Voltage controlled filters, which make the sound nice.
Then you have the ASDR Attack Sustain Decay Release circuits that shape the loudness of the note, and you can link the ASDR circuit to the VCF to change the sound of the note after the key is pressed.
Point is, in the 70’s this music shit was difficult. Look at any Emerson lake and Palmer video where Emerson was using a Moog D. One note at a time and lots of wires and twirly knobs.
Then computers, sound cards and other shit got invented.
Who the fuck buys a Stradivarius and plays it anymore when a computer does it better.
LOL dumb people 8 notes per octave not 6.
@ lobo91:
He is campaigning on issues he will not have any control over if elected.
That ain’t right.
It’s time to vote out a government that will kill a pet squirrel but will gladly allow 600,000 criminals with 13,000 murderers & 16,000 rapists knowingly into their country. Maybe P’nuts murder will be the catalyst for real change & awakening as to our govts broken priorities!

and it is ADSR NOT ASDR lol.
fuck I am getting old and confused.
Woke up at 6am, made a cup of instant coffee ( no real coffee here, roaches ) sat at computer and noticed it was unusually bright behind the trees.
Attributed it to a full moon, then it got really bright at 6:30am. WTF?
I think during the night a cat or something messed with the clock on my computer.
Lunch is meatloaf with a lettuce salad.
Look up how to make meatloaf and you get this.
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
3 slices bread, toasted and crumbled
7 buttery round crackers, crushed
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 ½ tablespoons sour cream
1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, divided
¼ cup milk, or as needed (Optional)
3 tablespoons ketchup
NOPE! Meatloaf for one. I is getting good at this….
1/4 pound burger, five small mushrooms, half an onion, a heap teaspoon of tomato powder, an ounce of breadcrumbs and an egg.
Wrapped in a foil nest and in air fryer for 60 minutes at 250F
When 60 minutes is up the individual portion of meatloaf will be freed from the captivity of the foil and air fried at 400F for ten minutes, turning once at the 5 minute mark to brown the outside.
LOL spending an hour and a half just cooking a lunch? I need to get frozen Marie Callender meals.
@ Possum:
Point is that recipe is Servings:12
Try scaling that down to servings one.

[insert preface]
The longwinded point I’m trying to make is that throughout history the most minor anomalies are often windows into a completely different understanding of the world.
Which brings me to my point.
This event where armed officers took a pet squirrel from an individual in New York opens a Pandora’s box of the horrors of leftist tyranny. The facts of the incident are disturbing enough: an anonymous instigator over 1000 miles away reported a humble man who had rescued a wounded squirrel and made a pet of him for years. The informer’s motives in doing so can only be guessed, but the owner of the pet had made the horrific mistake in today’s America of supporting conservative thought. A cadre of armed officials got a search warrant, rummaged through the man’s property for five hours, illegally questioned his wife about her immigrant status, ultimately seizing the pet and killing it without giving the owner any recourse to save its life. Now let’s take a look at the universe in which this macabre horrid little leftist “comedy” took place. In a nation overrun by tens of millions of illegal aliens, crushed by rampant crime and gang warfare, enduring a $35 trillion deficit, soul-crushing inflation, a culture of infanticide and child mutilation, sexual dysphoria, and insanity, and waging illegal lawfare against candidates of another party, New York State spent a full day killing a squirrel, that had been a harmless pet cherished by its owner for literally years.
The event in and of itself was just an act of petty cruelty. As a window into a larger universe, however, it is a fissure in the mantle of our world, signaling a cataclysmic eruption that may well end this nation. The tsunami of rage coming from ordinary and loving individuals was quite frankly astonishing.
Has America in the hands of the lunatic left become a powder keg about to explode? Will the power-hungry Democrats and their media minions spew enough hatred that even the most gentile among us will finally say ENOUGH? Does 87,000 newly minted and armed IRS agents offer you comfort or fill you with terror?
Are you sick of this yet?
Got into a discussion about the polls in Iowa seeming to favor Harris. A reporter who covers the state said the women are going for Kamala because of abortion. The state bans it after 6 wks with some exceptions. So I asked how is this Trump’s fault when the Iowa legislature passed the law?
Them: Trump got Roe overturned
Me: No SCOTUS got Roe overturned. Trump did not tell SCOTUS how to vote and he didn’t tell the Iowa legislature how to vote
Them: Iowa would not have done it w/o Dobbs
Me: Neither would Colorado, which permits abortion at any stage. Want to give Trump credit? Got anything else?
Them: Yeah, you’re wrong!
Me: okey dokey, have a nice day!
I am never deleting that app……….

Interesting articles on the polls vs. Nate Silver
Nate Silver: Pollsters Are Rigging their Numbers
Most of the “election” data we think of comes not from results but from the numerous polls put out. However, polls are only quasi-data, not real statistics you can use with any certainty. Polls are based on a magical combination of actual data collected in non-random ways, testing questions that may or may not skew the results, and then mashed through a black box formula that tries to turn this rather dirty nonrandom “data” into something that more closely resembles the real world.
That doesn’t make polls USELESS. If they were, campaigns wouldn’t waste resources on them. It just means they aren’t what we are told they are.

I placed a nice large “NO SOLICITING” sign on the front door two weeks ago. seriously, don’t knock on my door. I hate that, and so does Phoebe the blog dog.
two ugly lesbian looking harris-hags dared to knock yesterday. heh, I happened to see it coming so I was in the back. I watched them walk onto my property and knock, I arrived behind them and asked: :’are you illiterate? You are tresspassing.’
the ‘get off my property’ order then insued. Well, one of the fat uglies got a little testy. Sashy-K then had phoebe the blog dog at the door (and on a leash) as it was time for the old dog to go out (phobe is 15 and needs to go out alot)…that said, Phoebe the blog dog went teeth bearing nuts, listen, i’ve never seen her go berzerker like that. yeah, I was in an angry word for word against 2x250lbs of pierced purple haired stinky vag, I guess phoebster picked up on it. she wanted out and to take a chunk. she went all crazy on the front door. i’ve never seen her get that crazy. she’s 15 for fucks sake!
they were informed to leave, never to return, or send anyone else.
I was then called a Nazi. they stepped on a nice pile of dog shit on the way actoss the yard,
They got an even worse reception across the road, HE let the dogs out. 3 well trained German shepherds, all smart enough to know not to leave the ‘invisible fence’.

INSIDE KAMALA HARRIS’S OPEN-BORDERS ALLIANCE WITH UNITED NATIONS BUREAUCRATS:
U.S. taxpayer dollars were spent on foreign nationals’ salaries so they could advise other foreign nationals on the easiest way to migrate to the United States.
At least $81.7 million in U.S. taxpayer funding spent by the open-borders United Nations to allow illegal aliens to bypass the southwest border and fly directly into the United States.
Migration centers set up throughout Central and South America staffed by U.N. bureaucrats.
Nearly 70,000 aliens referred for potential resettlement in the United States.

I have an idea about the PNut the squirrel debacle.
It was never about the squirrel. No state agency sends out 10 armed agents, tosses somebody’s house for 5 hours, kicks the residents outside under guard and wants to know about the wife’s immigration status OVER A SQUIRREL. Oh, the squirrel was illegal? The paperwork was just waiting for signatures and it had been illegal for 7 fucking years.
And it all SUPPOSEDLY was triggered by an ‘anonymous’ tip that all of a sudden isn’t anonymous. A woman in Texas, a photographer, is being named as the tipster. She lives in Texas and is said to have noted on her FB page that she was jealous the squirrel had more instagram followers than she did and she was going to ‘rat him out’. Perhaps that’s literally true but it could have been said in jest. We’ll never know as she’s taken all her social media offline and nobody got a screen shot.
I’ve seen a video from a friend of hers who said she never did this, she’s been a squirrel rehabber herself and WTAF?
What if…it’s not about the squirrel, what if it’s about putting this woman in the crosshairs? AFAIK, nobody has tried to connect dots between this woman and anybody in the NY state gov’t but…
Technical post.
As you all know a few months ago the laptop I was using died due to a hard drive fail and so I switched over to using a Raspberry Pi 4 for a few days until a refurbished PC arrived. The RPi runs Linux and the browser is Chromium, which is not Chrome, and it came with an ad blocker pre-installed. That ad blocker also blocked ads during streaming movies and TV shows. Slick.
Anyway, new PC arrived and thus I was able to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive and replace the hard drive on laptop. So I than had a nice desktop which was fast until Glen pissed in it and killed it.
So ordered another used HP desktop of the same type and when it arrived I was happy again! The pissed on desktop went through a total refurbishment consisting of stripping it all down, 91% rubbing alcohol, a paint brush and a good soaking in the bath tub.
Got it running, now have three PCs Laptop and two refurbished desk tops. The pissed on one has a faster processor so that is the one I am using.
For the past week it has occasionally frozen up, maybe a virus? Maybe cat piss residue? Maybe CPU overheating as I had to remove the CPU heat sink to get the motherboard out to de-piss it and did not have any heat sink slime.
Virus is easier to do a check on so installed Malwarebytes and for shits and giggles let it install the Malwarebytes Chrome browser extension. No virus found.
However free TV shows and Movies from Roku now play with no ads! If you remember I was bitching about the buffering and delays on Roku when it was serving me local ads.
Down side is I have to turn off the Malwarebytes browser extension when doing grown up thinks like paying rent and Walmart shopping.
So, the point of this post is the Malwarebytes browser extension for Chrome is very useful if streaming stuff. Just be aware it may fuck up other sites.
@ Possum:
For anyone concerned about my CPU and the fact that I did not have any fresh thermal paste when re-assembling it I was careful not to remove any of the old slime.
Current CPU package temperature is 34C.

A great example is the fact that Harris’ campaign promise to “combat price gouging” she has come right out and said that she will institute massive price controls on nearly every aspect of life. And clowns like Tester are running on price gouging. The free market will be destroyed in one term of a Harris admin.
