aka The Democratic Party

If the most informative response to the Hamas atrocities was Victor Davis Hanson’s Twitter post on Israel’s “50th anniversary war,” then the most interesting was written in The Spectator by Brendan O’Neill, who asked “why isn’t Antifa condemning the tide of anti-Semitism?”

“Where is Antifa?” he wondered. “Where are those self-styled anti-fascists who love to rage against anything that is even vaguely reminiscent of the 1930s?”

He knows what the rest of us do: That there’s nothing anti-fascist about Antifa.

“To the modern left, everything is fascism except actual fascism,” says O’Neill.

“They’ve been fighting fantasy fascism for years, yet when real fascism came, they hid, they looked the other way, they made excuses.”

While Antifa conspicuously stays out of sight, Black Lives Matter, the darling of the Democrats, shows up in party hats and whistles, with “chapters across the country,” Mediaite reports, “celebrating the terrorist attacks that have claimed hundreds of innocent lives in Israel.”

Harvard students made a splashy appearance, as well – nearly three dozen campus groups have sided with the barbarians. According to the media, a coalition of 34 Harvard student organizations issued a joint statement in which they said they “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” as “millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison,” and “the apartheid regime is the only one to blame.”

They are the most ridiculous group of human beings, unable to govern, and now the Democrats will be able to make some changes -needed changes -and get the country moving again like they always do

I think the answer is "no." It appears that many democrats are just like nazi's.

The response from certain corners of the progressive Left to the stories coming out of Israel has been extraordinary. The silhouette of a paragliding Hamas militant has been adopted by groups ranging from Black Lives Matter to the Democratic Socialists of America — a graphic successor to that Che Guevara block print that used to hang on every dorm room wall. A crowd on the steps of the Sydney Opera House in Australia chanted “gas the Jews”. A cheer went up in Times Square at the news that 700 Israelis had been killed. And among the academic and media classes, a series of statements ran the gamut from half-hearted condemnations of the terrorist attacks to triumphant and bloodthirsty snarling.

“What did y’all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers,” wrote Najma Sharif, a writer for Soho House magazine and Teen Vogue. “Today should be a day of celebration for supporters of democracy and human rights worldwide,” tweeted Rivkah Brown of Novara Media. The language varied, but the sentiment was the same: this is good, actually, and seeing it should fill you with the same cathartic glee as any underdog story. Don’t you see? This isn’t terrorism; it is justice.

The Mighty Massachusetts Minutemen have been thrown a life preserver: current forecast calling for an inch of rain and temps around 50!

Damn it! Double damn it! Y'all think this game is in the bag? Think again.

I'll be studying the meteorological predictions on an hourly basis the whole week.

Seriously, the weather thread for the Iowa game was so much fun...I think we should do it again.

But joking aside, the forecast does actually suck. I mean, hell, we need something to create interest and suspense...

The principal function of war is money just like general y said in jfk

Don't wait until after Columbus

They're to march there today.

What's your opinion?

…will the libs wave the white flag and admit that their policies have ruined everything that was once great about America?

Don’t get me wrong, progressivism pushed society to new heights in many ways, but once we hit that fulcrum, it’s like everything inverted and put all of Western society on a path to self-destruction.

This was hilarious, you're speaking Japanese to me now. I was dying.

My advice to the democratic party and the Biden administration.... Think for once.

This suggests a serious revamp of the Democratic approach to immigration flows and immigration reform. The public has indeed become more sympathetic to immigrants and immigration, partially as a thermostatic reaction to the practices of the Trump administration. But that does not mean that Democrats can simply be the opposite of Trump on this issue. He was closed; we’re open! He was mean; we’re nice! Any moves toward greater leniency at the border and the creation of legalization regimes for undocumented immigrants raises the possibility of knock-on effects and unintended consequences that would be highly unpopular. How do you prevent people from gaming the system? How do you handle the possibility of surges at the border to take advantage of leniency and legalization regimes? Any immigration reform package worth its salt must have serious answers to these questions.

The 16 members of the US National Women’s Team say they’ll all quit if Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who won the NCAA Championship and set 11 world records, gets so much as a tryout.

What do you guys see happening tomorrow?

Silence is violence.

A group of 44 House Republicans sent a letter to Department of Education secretary Miguel Cardona urging the federal agency to protect Jewish college students in light of Thursday’s “national day of resistance,” organized by the national leadership of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

“We encourage the Department to engage immediately with colleges and universities on their obligations to take prompt and appropriate action to respond to harassment that creates a hostile environment for Jewish students,” reads the letter, which was led by Representative Tim Walberg (R., Mich.).

The letter was distributed to all House members Wednesday afternoon but had not been signed by any House Democrats as of Thursday afternoon. National Review contacted Democratic members of Walberg’s Michigan delegation, and only the office of Representative Debbie Dingell (D., Mich.) responded, saying “Rep. Dingell wants every student to be safe.”Walberg’s office, for its part, has “not heard from anyone.”

Long read but a fun read for us old heads who actually like reading. Author is Chris Buchignani from the Obligatory PSU Pregame Show/Podcast. Really enjoy the way he writes.

and am just blown away. Truly a game-changer. Amazing.

In the thread, I link a 20-minute ChatGPT for beginners tutorial. I promise, after 20 minutes, you'll be up to speed. It is like Google who is alive and talking to you.

They just released a capability where you can post an image and it will do the work. Can you imagine posting a cat scan and letting the brains of thousands of doctors interpret it?

Manchin trails Justice by 13 points in new West Virginia Senate poll​

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is trailing West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) by 13 points in the latest poll of voters in the state.

The Emerson College survey of 539 voters, conducted from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4, showed Justice with 41 percent support and Manchin with 28 percent.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is trailing West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) by 13 points in the latest poll of voters in the state.

The Emerson College survey of 539 voters, conducted from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4, showed Justice with 41 percent support and Manchin with 28 percent.

Fifteen percent of voters said they would support someone else in such a scenario and 16 percent are undecided.

The poll also showed Justice with a 40 percent job approval rating compared to a 26 percent disapproval rating — far better than President Biden, who has a 19 percent job approval rating in West Virginia and a 71 percent disapproval rating.

Manchin, however, wins a matchup against Rep. Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.), according to the poll, who is challenging Justice for the Senate Republican nomination.

The survey showed that Manchin leads Mooney in a hypothetical matchup, 37 to 31 percent.

Under this scenario, 13 percent of voters would support someone else and 18 percent are undecided.

Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted that “independents are breaking for Justice, 43 percent to 18 percent,” over Manchin but that in a contest between the incumbent senator and Mooney, independents are split, 32 to 32 percent.

Manchin has previously said the Senate Republican primary will be a battle, implying his eventual opponent would be weakened.

“I will win any race I enter,” he said earlier this year, adding that he is “laser focused on doing the job West Virginians elected me to do.”

Manchin, the chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, announced Friday that the U.S. Department of Energy has selected the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub for up to $925 million in federal support under the bipartisan infrastructure law he helped negotiate.

He hasn’t yet made a decision about running for reelection and plans to announce his intentions at the start of 2024.

Manchin said in August that he was “thinking seriously” about leaving the Democratic Party.

“I’m thinking seriously. For me, I have to have peace of mind, basically. The brand has become so bad — the D brand and R brand. In West Virginia, the D brand because it’s [the] national brand. It’s not the Democrats in West Virginia, it’s the Democrats in Washington,” he told West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval.

“You’ve heard me say a million times I’m not a Washington Democrat,” he said.

An East Carolina University Center for Research poll of West Virginia voters published in May showed Justice leading Manchin, 54 to 32 percent, in a hypothetical matchup — a 22-point advantage.

The Emerson survey released on Friday also found that former President Donald Trump would easily win the state, which he carried with overwhelming margins in 2016 and 2020.

Trump leads Biden, 59 to 23 percent, among West Virginia voters. Over half of voters in the state — 51 percent — said that they think Biden stole the 2020 election while only 35 percent said he won it fairly.

#WeAre #PennState

I want to make linguine and white clam sauce for UMass game. I’ve never made it before and my game day crew, we like to pick a dish that somewhat represents the region our opponent is from. We try and make it as homemade as is practical (we may make the linguine as example)….

Anyone have a family secret recipe you’d share?

What if Hamas responds by executing U.S. citizens?

Great Britain, Germany and yes Mexico have all removed their citizens that want to leave from Israel.

The US has announced that they will begin organizing a plan to remove American citizens from Israel via charter flights which such citizens will have to pay for. Assuming that these American citizens are mostly Jewish, it seems a bit odd. Is this standard procedure for evacuating Americans from a potential danger situation to have to pay?

Secondly, there are reports that Hamas is preventing their own Palestinian civilians from evacuating the Gaza Strip, even when Israel drops leaflets warning civilians to abandon specific buildings.

Yet today is the day of rage against Israel.
