What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.

Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.

One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

Thanks, Ace. "Keep It Simple, Stupid" has been the mantra running through my head all day.

You look at that .gif, and what used to be known as "common sense" tells you, "Uh-unh, no way."

We don't live in a world where people are encouraged to rely on common sense anymore. We live in a world where people think you have to consult experts on typography to get a clear answer on this. We live in a world where the argument from authority trumps all.

Well, bullshit. You don't need authorities for this one. The evidence is right there, clearly visible to anyone who's willing to employ a little common sense.

I'm thinking of throwing that .gif up as a banner, actually.

LGF is a Site worth visiting. C Johnson has his quirks, but has good articles. Some of the posters also add expertise, though this is clearly an "Israel-First" crowd given to occasional racist views on Muslims and "Nuke Mecca" exhortations.

Johnson was one of the 1st to spot this fraud, and though more technically expert people weighed in later, he debunked it simply and clearly by exactly duplicating it on MS Word, showing his results, and demolishing any critic showing up saying it wasn't so by elaborating on the technical aspects. Johnson should be credited as one of the 3-4 key people helping spread this like wildfire with his clear case showing forgery.

LGF gets a big boost from all the links to the Site given Charles Johnson his due, and for putting Rather and CBS's feet to the fire so fast that they had no time over the weekend to prepare a savvy response. What Rather and CBS said Friday resembles the off-guard, damaging, stupid statements that they hoped and prayed for when they ambushed hapless victims on 60 minutes. If Rather goes down, if many on CBS staff fall - LGF deserves partial credit for helping force reckless stuff from their mouths - before they could huddle in a damage control mode over the weekend with lawyers and PR consultants to limit the CBS disaster.

Johnson's GIF is genius. It could have benefited from a slide show feature that showed some other overlays proving that pica fonts, Selectric Times Roman typewritten samples didn't match up, only Microsoft Word did - but that's quibbling.

Ilyka - you are on mark about common sense being more important than waiting for "the experts" to tell you how you should think. In this case, I have sought out Kerry true believers for arguments, to entrap them to forcefully say "CBS and all the experts say that the documents are true" - then calling them to put some money where their mouths are - making bets with them that CBS will admit the documents are forgeries in the next 2 weeks.

The bets are from 5 dollars to 100 bucks. 225 dollars so far.

Like taking candy from babies.

In MS Word the superscripting in 187th is different then in that gif. The Word document was converted to an Acrobat file which raises the th in "187th" higher. Charles addressed this in an old post, but be careful because observant people will notice the difference at some point and you'll need to explain.

To see the difference actually type 187th in word and you can see the superscript rides lower. I made a pdf of the word document myself and confirmed it pushes the superscripting higher. All the original work was done here...

"Johnson's GIF is genius. It could have benefited from a slide show feature that showed some other overlays proving that pica fonts, Selectric Times Roman typewritten samples didn't match up, only Microsoft Word did - but that's quibbling."

Well, this does a pretty good job:
