How in the world would a guy get through all that for seduction?
@ Sennacherib > He didn’t.
Time to review your Jane Austen.
Although she was a bit early for this particular style.
Kate,
So am I. Just a reference that the average age at these protests is definitely above 60. Many are our fellow Boomers trying to relive their past.
physicsguy, some of us never grew up.
AesopFan,
I’ve never read Austen.
Sennacherib, on your original question, I refer you to the video, and the open pantaloons (if worn).
@Kate: physicsguy, some of us never grew up.
My uncle, a paratrooper in WW II and a member of the Greatest Generation, dropped out to be a hippie in the Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love.
In those days he called himself Peter Pan, and his wife, Tinkerbelle.
He never really grew up either.

An article about the importance of shop class in schools reminded me of the jet engine pioneer Gerhard Neumann, who said that his apprenticeship in an auto shop before entering engineering school (then required in Germany) had been of great value to him. Re-posted my review of his very interesting autobiography, ‘Herman the German’
Hair gel Newsom’s press conference touting his gerrymandering did not go well. First the Border Patrol made several arrests nearby. Then a Trump supporter sent him a Trump 2028 hat. Newsom was not amused. LOL
No, but when they moved to a small town in Colorado they got a shepherd mix they named Strider after the Lord of the Rings character. In the early 80s they went back to being Wally and Mary Beth.
Wally was one of the most charismatic men I’ve known. The small town arranged to vote him an International Peace award for basically being a cool ex-hippie, as far as I could tell.
Democrats still seem to believe in the usefulness of playing by Palestinian, or Hezbullah, Rules….
(Of course it’s always possible that they can’t help it….)
The Democrat funded Pravda will gloriously play up the latest outrage du jour fitted for your video pleasure by a curated rent-a-mob carrying signs saying “hurray for our side”.
I’m a Boomer, never had a single thought of joining a protest, but I did assemble in 2020 to cheer on Trump in his ill-fated quest to be reelected. There was a younger female standing next to me when Trump’s caravan went by, she flipped him off and had nothing positive to say about him. I was proud to be an American on that day, and so was she, we just disagreed on things. Which is fine.
Hezbollah doesnt seem so impressive after beepergate and the collapse of their sponsor in damascus i could be proven wrong in the future
If you were a paratrooper you were entitled to be eccentric
Juicy new details from John Solomon (JustTheNews) about Schiff, Hillary, the empaneled Grand Juries, etc, newest documents put into context, from a Friday night interview.
Why? Solomon sticks to the facts, but glows with giddy glee, conveying the sense that this conspiracy case, using best prosecutors in the DOJs “rarely used” Strike Force,” is going to lead to indictments and prosecutions. His confidence is showing.
EVIDENCE of knowingly and willingly violating the law is now certain, which permits a 10 year time window to prosecute former Presidential administrations’ wrong doing.
John even mentions the two Whistleblowers from the FIB who set him on this course during Trump I years ago— and how back then he never imagined how deep and widespread this cabal ranged.
YIPPY!
To physicsguy, Kate, huxley, et al. These event turnouts are Code Pink commies. And retired teachers
During the Reagan years, I was a student organizer at my state’s largest university, campaigning against Draft Registration as an unconstitutional “involuntary servitude. We worked with turning out the motley activist Left to protest, from DSOC socialists (Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee— Barack Obama attended their NYC socialist scholars conference then — we’ve got his paid registration slip!) to Progressive Labor Socialist thugs to little old Leninist Ladies of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.
Anything anti-right wing draws this ilk to pose for publicity and support the commie cause — they are the original “cause heads” before Wokery and SJW, even before the New Left..
That ‘80s libertarian effort finally reached SCOTUS in 1986, AND justice Thurgood Marshall wrote the perceptive and penetrating dissent — while the majority wrote upholding Carter’s Afghanistan-cackle rebuke to the Soviet invasion there, with the subtext that abstaining from such a purist legal finding was requisite Separation of Powers law because, you know, the Cold War is still on, and a military draft might be exigently required for US defense. In other words, the emergency suspension of the Constitution or “War Constitution” regime must continue.
These old boomers are True Believer communists — see the red clenched fist thrusting upward? Typical commie+labor symbolic revolt). See their mass made and replicated protest signs? That’s their earmark. Along with their age. Retired teachers, making up half of them, I’d guess.
Back in the day, Minnesota’s Iron Ranger Labor organizer Gus Hall held the record for the most attempts to win the Presidency for the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).
Then Gus died in his ‘90s, and Angela Davis became the CPUSAs Veep candidate (I forget the head of the ticket).
But in current century, the CPUSA has ceased running their own candidates entirely, tossing their support to the (Commie) Democrats five times in a row now! This fudionist threat is the real reason why Tump must reverse to order allowing Federal employees to have union organizing and representation.
This has been no accident by Commies, but a post-Cold War gambit to gain power through government labor unions — as teachers, and Federal, State, and Local government to Rule throughout bureaucracies.
And THIS metatazized Wokery beginning with Obama has been their ticket to perpetual Rule from the top.
Except Trump came along and ruined it. His campaigns revived Tea Party hostility to Big Government overreach, adding the working class and GenZ youth to the Republican Party.
Now, how can the pro-socialist young also vote for anti-socialist Trump?
Selwyn Duke at the New American wrote a column on this conundrum last month with polling data and demography citations. I read it but did not “get” his argument attempting to resolve this paradox. Gotta re-read it soon.
…never imagined how deep and widespread this cabal ranged.
Like an extraordinary infestation of termites.
Or an aggressive—if “charismatic”—cancer that’s metastasized throughout the body (politic).
Or an opportunistic, determined and hydra-like mold spread throughout an entire building, its basement, floors, walls, ceilings, nooks and crannies…
(That being said, chickens ought not be counted until hatched…
Perhaps most importantly, if those chickens DO start hatching—see the Hezbullah link above…@10:55 pm)

Kash Patel was on Hannity, Thursday night. About the depth of his shock FBI document findings, Matt Margolis at PJmedia has this quote:
“Think about this for a second,” he told Hannity. “We exposed the Russiagate hoax… the FISA abuses, the corruption of political parties, and the lies to a federal court just to illegally surveil a presidential candidate. I came in years later thinking we uncovered most of it. But sadly, we found a room locked away locked away in the Hoover building that contained burn bags,” he continued. “We didn’t find one. We found seven. That wasn’t the only thing we found in there. We found hard drives from our predecessors and prior FBI leadership and folks like Page, Strzok, Comey, McCabe, Comey, the list goes on from Russiagate. The names were strewn all over these materials.” https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/08/15/kash-patel-describes-explosive-fbi-burn-room-discovery-n4942745#google_vignette
Game. Set. No match…yet.
There may be Spanish speakers here. Congresswoman Delia Ramirez said in a speech in Guatemala: “soy guatemalteca antes de ser americana”. That is unambiguous. I am a Guatemalan before American. Literally, this is incorrect, she was born here of illegal alien parents. By the birthright doctrine, she became American, the second she was born. But intellectually, she is correct. She obviously considers herself Guatemalan and not American. Let’s hope Scotus declares the clear meaning of the 14th amendment and rules that birthright citizenship does not exist. Unfortunately, the squishes will probably rule for birthright citizenship. But at least it should be unambiguous.
These old boomers are True Believer communists — see the red clenched fist thrusting upward?
TJ:
Quite so.
Most Americans, including Democrats, have no idea how deeply entrenched the hard-core revolutionary left is in all those anti-everything demonstrations.
During the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) period I was commenting at a New Age blog run by Neale “Conversations with God” Walsch. Walsch had fallen in love with #Occupy as a Third Way, neither right nor left, which would lead us magically out of the morass of politics to a better world.
Nonsense. #Occupy wasn’t that at all, as I informed Walsch:
____________________________
#Occupy is basically a mélange of communists, socialists, anarchists, the homeless, fringe people, and economic casualties who are disrupting the rest of the society in a selfish and unconstructive manner. This is not going to end well for #Occupy nor for liberal reactionaries who instinctively support leftist demonstrations.
____________________________
Walsch called me out to support my outlandish claims. He was looking for his “Have you no decency, sir?” moment à la the 1954 McCarthy hearings.
Of course, I had no trouble doing so and put up dozens of comments with cites showing the direct relationships of #Occupy with the hard left.
Walsch quickly and silently left the discussion. This left a half-dozen commenters spouting their incoherent philosophies or attacking me personally. I kept putting up more cites and they eventually gave up.
Not long afterward Walsh reset the entire blog so all previous conversations, including that one, were deleted. However it does live on at the Wayback Machine:
How do people believe this ridiculous claptrap, i can see why he deleted it
Walsch and his team call it “The Global Conversation.” They claim to respect and empower everyone, but they keep changing the format and trying to control/censor the conversations.
Walsch barely participates beyond writing the initial posts. There’s not much activity either.

Here is Sasha Stone’s Part I of what is, at root, her own changer story.
I don’t always agree with her outlook (because I didn’t experience the same things she did), but as a personal testimony her writings are worth contemplating.
The Left’s ideology has one single sell point
FREE. It’s one of those ideologies that looks
good joining it, but the moment you’re far enough in you can’t get out . ( The old vote your way in and shoot you way out.)
