A Huge Story I Have Absolutely Nothing To Say About

Two of America's Three Biggest Unions Will Split From AFL-CIO Over Political Differences

Megan says "Wow," over on her forum The Pit.

A press report from the separatist unions, calling themselves "Change to Win," stated "We hope to underscore the continuing problems with AFL-CIO President John Sweeney's management, while continuing to pretend we have any intention of ever actually supporting a Republican candidate for office."

MikeSC's taking the same skeptical position as you, Ace. But seriously, even if all this does is force the Dems to pander harder at the state and municipal level, this is a win-win-win situation for the GOP. We have absolutely zero to lose and everything to gain.

Jesus Christ. One little link from Ace and suddenly the board's got 20 guests.

And I just laugh and laugh...

The Dems must be going nutz.

I wonder just how much more they need to push them all completely over the edge. :)

This is a fight about where and how to spend dues, some good news (the Teamsters want to spend less on politics) and some bad news (they want to spend more on organizing).

The United Food and Commercial Workers (part of the Teamsters) is fighting for its life. They've been after Wal*Mart for years, mostly so they can get some kind of a labor agreement with any grocery chain successfully negotiated. They never have. Other chains (like the ones that broke their strike in So Cal last year) look across the table and say "do something about Wal-Mart if you want us to sign a deal".

Heh. The ones I've seen are so far over the edge already they can't even SEE the edge anymore.

And it just breaks my freakin' heart into pieces.

A divided union? I LOVE the smell of irony in the evening!

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
