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).

You can check ebay if you are wanting to go the old/used route. I bought an old case knife that looked like the one my dad got me as a kid that I lost. Might pay a bit more but there is usually everything on there.

It fascinates me how politicians on both sides of the isle seem unable to do basic math.
The only way Democrats “won” this election is if they’ve convinced the American people —
and the Republican Party —
that 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐲, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
Democrats not only lost… They lost big! While Democrats continue to play a game of chicken with Republicans and the American people,
here’s the 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡 that no one seems to be talking about:

It’s a safe bet that if they left a blue state for a red one,
they were likely 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 looking for freedom, opportunity, and sanity.
And here’s the kicker:

Where did she come from? What would she propose the response should be? That’s a normal response for an officer down call. I’ve seen more cars then that respond to a officer down call…
That is what isis and alqaeda have said their plan is though. She's just getting the word out. They want to do an attack to draw in first responders and then kill a bunch of them.
Supreme Court temporarily freezes order requiring Trump admin. to provide full SNAP payments
Jacob RosenUpdated Fri, November 7, 2025 at 9:07 PM CST
Washington — Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday froze, for now, a lower court order that required the Trump administration to swiftly provide full federal food benefits to roughly 42 million Americans.
The order from Jackson is temporary. She said it will give a federal appeals court more time to consider whether to provide the Trump administration with longer emergency relief while an appeal in the dispute over payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program moves forward.
The Supreme Court's late-stage intervention came as the Trump administration closed in on an end-of-day deadline, set by a district court judge Thursday, to cover in full food assistance for November and use roughly $4 billion for other nutrition programs to do so. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit had temporarily left in place the lower court's decision, after which the Justice Department sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court.
US judge says Trump cannot deploy National Guard to Portland
Ana FaguyFri, November 7, 2025 at 8:54 PM CST
[Reuters]
A US judge will not allow President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard members to the city of Portland, Oregon.
The ruling is the latest in a weeks-long court battle over whether the president violated federal law when he sent troops to a US city despite objections from local officials.
Troops had been blocked from deploying to the city due a temporary court order. Now, that order is permanent.
The Portland deployment is part of a series of efforts by Trump administration to subdue protests against federal immigration raids in primarily Democrat-led cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington DC.
The decision by US District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, is the first time the Trump administration was permanently blocked from deploying troops to a city.
The administration is widely expected to appeal the decision, though, and the issue could end up before the Supreme Court.
When she ruled against the Trump administration earlier this month, Judge Immergut issued two temporary restraining orders. One blocked Trump from mobilising the Oregon National Guard to Portland, while another, broader order stopped him from sending in any troops from any state to Oregon. Trump had tried to send forces from California and Texas.
In the 106-page ruling, Judge Immergut said that she was not blocking the president from ever using National Guard troops, but said that in Portland "the President did not have a lawful basis to federalize the National Guard".
Not saying that won’t happen, but how would we change that?
I doubt it matters to him or most Dems
Qatar, Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood are funding the take over of this country through the 158 NGOs that are dedicated to putting people like Mamdani in every major city.
Israel is not funding Mosques, K-12 education, radical communist Islamist officials for mayors and councilmen and everything in between.
In 2010 there were 2,160 mosques in America. In 2025 there are roughly 3,100 mosques in America. Mosques have seen the largest relative expansion (about 31% from 2010 to 2020, with hundreds more added since), even though Muslims represent just 1.2% of the population.
The surge in mosque construction reflects the increased organization, visibility, and economic power of Muslim communities, especially in suburban areas.
Churches still vastly outnumber other religious buildings, but the pace of new church construction (about 3,000 in ten years) is well below historic norms and does not keep up with the number of closures.
Synagogue numbers are stagnant with about 300 to 400 new synagogues in the last decade, consistent with the Jewish population’s share (1.7%).
Mosque construction far outpaces the Muslim population’s growth which currently sits at 1.2%. Yet they built almost triple the amount of synagogues. Estimates from major civic groups indicate hundreds of thousands of registered Muslim voters added to the rolls since the early 2010s, with a meaningful acceleration around 2020–2025 due to intensified organizing and digital outreach from CAIR and the MSA both of whom were un indicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial terrorism funding trial.
Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America,” was written in 1991 by Muhammad Akram, a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. This memo was discovered by the FBI in 2004 during a search of the home of Ismail Elbarasse, a fundraiser for Hamas, in Annandale, Virginia. It was introduced as government evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial in 2007.
The memorandum outlines what it calls a “Civilization-Jihadist Process”—describing the Brotherhood’s work in America as a kind of “grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands…”.
It explicitly promotes building a network of Islamic centers and organizations to influence and expand Muslim presence in American society.
20 years later and look at that, they did exactly what they promised they were going to do.
Somalian restaurant in Minneapolis took $12 million in federal child meal payments
They said they were feeding 4,000-6,000 kids a day. They only averaged 40 people during 6 weeks
They created fake names and invoices, Minneapolis Department of Education was aware and did nothing“
The FBI installed a surveillance camera overlooking this building just off Lake Street in Minneapolis. At the time, it was Safari Restaurant, which overall took in $12 million in federal child meal payments — Safari claimed to feed 4,000 to 6,000 kids a day. Its invoices and meal counts shown to the jury alongside the video.
An FBI agent testifying that an average of 40 people came and went during the six weeks it was surveilled. The FBI set up a total of 12 cameras at sites claiming to serve extraordinary numbers of meals.
Another was at a deli in Saint Paul, also registered by defendant Salim Sayyed, which claimed 1,800 meals per day. The video shown to the jury showed an average of 23 people a day coming and going. The jury was shown dozens of invoices, meal counts, and emails seized from Feeding Our Future's headquarters in Saint Anthony.
Some showed links to websites that randomly generated names and ages to create rosters of children who were served meals. —
And the kicker? Minnesota's own Department of Education had red flags. Massive spikes in reimbursement requests, impossible, impossible meal counts, and they still rubber-stamped the paperwork. Now, this new audit proves what everyone with a brain has been saying for years, incompetence starts at the top.
When the governor's own office is sloppy with receipts, how can he possibly keep his agencies in line? —
It's the same pattern. Inflated invoices, nonexistent oversight, and zero accountability.”
So Tim Walz personally knew and did nothing…. Where is the accountability?

Hell no I am not doing that with Grok. It’s seen my interactions with Ani.
Update: did it with ChatGPT a few minutes ago. It’s a little low tbh.

I get that it’s normal response for an officer down, but I cannot argue with her that from a tactical perspective, having all those LEOs in such a compact area would make it much easier for secondary attackers to mow down many of the officers on scene if they came with the right weaponry. Sarah is looking at it from the perspective of Islamic radicals that would want to do as much harm as possible. She is very knowledgeable on their ways and tactics. She’s been on Shawn Ryan’s pod a few times and she knows her shit.
