Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

The recent Dutch general election held on October 29, 2025, has significant implications for both the Netherlands and Europe. The centrist D66 party, led by Rob Jetten, emerged victorious, securing 26 out of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives. This closely contested election saw Jetten's party narrowly edge out Geert Wilders' far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), which also won 26 seats. The results reflect a divided political landscape, with both parties representing distinct ideologies and voter bases.
The election's outcome is crucial as it may influence the direction of Dutch policies and its role within the European Union. Jetten's victory suggests a preference among voters for centrist policies over the more extreme right-wing rhetoric of the PVV. This shift could signal a broader trend in Europe, where populist movements have gained traction in recent years. However, the election results also highlight the fragility of this victory, as the D66 will need to navigate coalition-building in a politically diverse environment.
As the Netherlands grapples with pressing issues such as immigration, globalist corruption, and economic instability, the new government will face challenges in uniting various factions to create effective policies. Which is likely to fail and it will result in the fourth broken cabinet in a row.

My feeling is when they call us White supremacists, we call them pedo's, which is a more accurate description of them. Can throw child abusers as well

Director Christopher Wray has named Jill Sanborn as the executive assistant director (EAD) of the National Security Branch.

She began her FBI career as a special agent in 1998 and was assigned to the Phoenix Field Office to investigate bank fraud and computer intrusions.

In 2006, Ms. Sanborn was added to the Counterterrorism Division’s Fly Team and deployed to Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Kenya, and Pakistan. She was detailed to the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center as the acting deputy director for law enforcement in 2010.

She returned to the field in 2012 as a supervisory special agent at the Washington Field Office, where she managed overseas kidnapping cases and the extradition of four high-value terrorism subjects.
In 2015, Ms. Sanborn was promoted to assistant special agent in charge (ASAC) in the Los Angeles Field Office, where she directed counterterrorism matters in Orange County and the cities of West Covina and Riverside.

The awful truth about the BBC is now too monstrous to hide.
Britain is a decaying, dysfunctional society, and the BBC is complicit in our decline. Our national broadcaster is not merely dishonest, biased and prone to cover-ups, as a Telegraph investigation reveals; it has also been wrong about almost everything that matters.
Fueled by billions of pounds extracted via the license fee, the BBC has spent forty years shrinking the Overton window, waging war against centre-Right dissidents, bullying politicians into following destructive orthodoxies and promoting an anti-Western, anti-capitalist, anti-conservative worldview.
Its output, riddled with groupthink, lapped up by our decrepit establishment, reeks of oikophobia, economic illiteracy, soft socialism, suicidal empathy and luxury beliefs. Seduced by critical theory, the BBC backs the “anywheres” against the “somewheres”, supports global institutions, from the EU to UNRWA, and barely conceals its disgust at those who prefer power to be located at the national level.”

A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to find the money by Friday to fully fund SNAP benefits for November.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. on Thursday was in response to a challenge from cities and nonprofits complaining that the administration was only offering to cover 65% of the maximum benefit.
“The defendants failed to consider the practical consequences associated with this decision to only partially fund SNAP,” McConnell said. “They knew that there would be a long delay in paying partial Snap payments and failed to consider the harms individual who rely on those benefits would suffer.”
In the US schools, the teacher would be fired and prosecuted for doing that. Maybe that's why US education has fallen so far.
Need to factor in there are No Guns in those nations that do this to people.
When they win they kill even more.
