Press X to doubt: Microsoft says it is fixing Windows 11. (Nerds.xyz)

Daley Gator - Ever notice how Democrats are always screwing normal Americans? (Glad he is back!)

One of my sons is a lawyer, and the youngest is currently a first-year law student, and the stories they tell me about the use of AI (artificial intelligence) by both law students and practicing lawyers are disturbing. You may think “fake news” is bad, but fake law is much worse.

Victory Girls - Tone-Deaf Leftist Activists Party In Cuba During Power Grid Collapse

Cuba’s power grid collapsed for the third time in less than a month yesterday. All while tone-deaf leftist activists rocked out in their air-conditioned buses and 5-star $130-$520 a night hotel rooms. The entire country had no electricity with the exception of the places that had working generators.

Good Guys 1, Bad Guys 0

The Left loves to go on about how if you own a gun, then you are more likely to shoot someone you know than a complete stranger. They miss the point of that statistic. Rancho Cordova homeowner shoots man during alleged break-in | ABC10

The person breaking into the home, in this incident, is known to the homeowner. That is apparently why he was there, trying to break into the home.

The Sacramento Sheriff and the Rancho Cordova Police Department responded to the 2900 block of Hunt Drive after 9:15 p.m. Thursday night to a report of an adult man trying to break into a home, the agencies' spokesperson said. The homeowner shot the man after he was told to leave multiple times and eventually broke a window to get inside.

The guy who got shot was taken to a local hospital, and when the doctors released him, he was booked into the county lockup.

Rancho Cordova, California, is about a 12 mile drive east of downtown Sacramento.

When the Left drones on about shooting people you know, what they want you to believe is that you will accidentally shoot a friend or a loved one, but the list of "people you know" is actually quite large.

The neighbor you are having a dispute with. The ex-coworker who morphed into a stalker. Ex-girlfriends/ex-boyfriends of you or your partner. Everyone you knew in high school you had an issue with. These are all people you know. They didn't say how this guy knows the people in the home, only that he threatened to kill one of them.

Outside of random crimes of opportunity, such as carjacking, or armed robbery, most issues/problems are going to be with people you know, and have longstanding issues with.

Self-defense is a human right, but I don't know how the district attorney in Sacramento is likely to treat it.

Massachusetts Chases Away High Earners

It is almost like economic incentives work. Massachusetts saw $4.2B income outflow after millionaire surtax took effect - InvestmentNews

Massachusetts residents who left the state took a net $4.2 billion in adjusted gross income with them in 2023, a year that marked the first full year of a new surtax on millionaires, according to recently released Internal Revenue Service migration data.

The outflow was among the largest totals in the country and represented an 8% increase from the prior year, even as the pace of departures slowed. The net number of tax returns from outgoing residents fell 36% from 2022 to 2023, the data from February showed, suggesting fewer movers overall but more income attached to those moves.

So they raised taxes on the "rich" - top earners - nearly doubling the tax rate from 5 percent to 9 percent. Is anyone shocked that those high earners left the state?

Beyond Massachusetts, several Democrat-led states have approved or are considering similar taxes on top earners – with California and New York being on the front lines – and Washington lawmakers advanced a millionaires tax proposal this month, with an effective date of Jan. 1, 2028.

Two states people are already leaving as fast as they can find a UHaul truck.

It is always about raising taxes, never about cutting costs. It is never about rooting out the fraud, that we know exists. It is always about taking more money from the citizens.

Illegal Alien Executes Loyola Student

Are we shocked that the Biden Administration turned him loose? Illegal migrant accused of executing Loyola student Sheridan Gorman was cut loose into US twice under Biden: DHS

Loyola University is a private Jesuit research university in Chicago. It is in what used to be a nice neighborhood, on the north side of the city, near the lake. But there are no nice parts of the city anymore.

An illegal Venezuelan migrant accused of executing a Loyola University Chicago freshman from New York entered the US under the Biden administration, and was released under Chicago’s sanctuary city laws before the killing, the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.

Jose Medina-Medina, 25, allegedly murdered 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman early Thursday morning while she walked along the Chicago lakefront with her friends, according to a DHS release obtained by Fox News.

That group of friends was walking near the pier at Tobey Prinz Beach in the early morning, trying to get away from the city lights, and catch a glimpse of northern lights.

The Democrats will not protest over this death, because the victim is not in one of their "protected classes," while the perpetrator is in one of those classes. And to admit there is a problem with crime in Chicago would also disrupt another narrative.

I miss civilization.

What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love And Understanding

The Defiant is a band that started during the COVID insanity. The first I heard of them was after Pete Parada had been fired from the Offspring in 2021 due to his following medical advice not to be vaccinated against COVID-19. That's right; his doctors told him NOT to get the vaccine. That wasn't good enough for the music industry. Others had similar problems due to their issues with the mandates.

The band consists of Dicky Barrett (vocalist from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones), Pete Parada (drummer from the Offspring), Greg Camp (guitarist from Smash Mouth), Johnny Rioux (bassist from Street Dogs), and Joey La Rocca (guitarist from the Briggs).

This song is "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love And Understanding" by The Defiant. It was released as a single on March 17th. It is a cover of a song originally recorded by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Self-Defense Is Legal in Pennsylvania

And the DAs seem to hate that. 2 found not guilty in killing of man outside Allentown supermarket

Oh, and family of dead people don't like self-defense either.

Following a five-day trial, Adalberto Morales Ortiz, 48, of Bethlehem and his nephew, Axel Gadiel Fontanez-Morales, 24, of Whitehall Township, both were acquitted March 13 of homicide in the May 14, 2023, killing of Jose Tirado-Ramirez. Attorneys for the men contended that they acted in self-defense during the shooting that happened outside the C-Town Market on Tilghman Street.

“The jury looked at this case and saw that Adalberto and his nephew were the people who were the true victims in this case,” Morales-Ortiz’s attorney, Stephen Patrizio, said Thursday. “Justice was done by this jury.”

As for the family, click thru for those reactions. Click thru for all of the details; there are quite a few around this case.

The whole thing, whole thing, from the arrest, to the 2 men spending more than a year in jail awaiting trial, to the trial seems to have been the result of rushed police actions, or that it what one of the defense attorneys had to say, and it sounds like it might be the case.

I looked, but I can't find any info on how long the jury deliberated.

Self-defense is a human right, but these guys got a close-up look at "The Process is the Punishment" in the criminal justice system.

No Respect for Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller

The Democrats will hate this. Scandal-Plagued Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller Dies in Disgrace at Age 81 : The Other McCain

De mortuis nil nisi bonum is always wise policy, which Democrats never follow whenever one of their enemies die. Democrats hate without apology, but become indignant if Republicans return the favor.

This headline is modeled on the headline that Variety used to announce the passing of Chuck Norris. Which they have not taken down. (See below) Norris was a lifelong Democrat, until that party was pushed so far to the Left that he believed he had been left behind, and finally called himself a Republican. Which is apparently an unforgivable sin to the Left and the media, but I repeat myself.

Readers might notice that the headline of this obituary is perhaps not a model of journalistic objectivity, but that’s the whole point. You see, I spent a decade at the Washington Times, which gave me a chance to study how our liberal competitor, the Washington Post, always slanted everything, including obituaries. Liberal journalists find ways to sneak in tendentious words and phrases like controversial and scandal-plagued when writing about their chosen enemies, and I think this is as good an occasion as any to repay the favor in the case of Bob Mueller.

Here is that headline on Chuck Norris, as posted to X.

Relatives of Dead People Don't Like Self-Defense

While I am not a lawyer, it is my understanding that every homicide in Texas is presented to a grand jury. San Antonio mother seeks justice after grand jury declines charges in son’s killing

Now I don't know what happened, but the whole "refer every homicide to a grand jury" was (it is my understanding) designed to take the bias, friendship, etc. out of the equation for whether or not a case would move forward. I get that this is a personal tragedy, but a no-bill from a grand jury is usually an indication that there is not enough evidence. Or at least that is how the process is supposed to work.

A San Antonio mother is demanding answers after learning the man charged in her son’s killing will not be prosecuted, following a grand jury finding that there was not enough evidence to move forward.

Edward Trejo, 28, was shot to death last December along Cincinnati Avenue on the city’s West Side.

Yes this is a tragedy, and while I can't imagine the grief of a mother whose son has died, her feelings are no substitutions for the law, not even in 2026.

Asked to explain the decision, the district attorney’s office declined an on-camera interview and instead emailed a statement saying it is following the grand jury’s decision. “This grand jury did not find probable cause to believe an offense occurred,” the statement said.

Oh, and self-defense is still legal in Texas, and it is still your human right.

Even More on the AI Assault on Gaming

From Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony we get the latest AI pushback. Daily Tech News 18 March 2026: Download Some Stuff Edition. The memes have been brutal. (See the image.)

NVIDIA released a "demo" of their latest "Let's shove AI into gaming, even if no one wants that" scheme.

Overwhelmingly Negative: Everybody hates DLSS 5. (Ars Technica)

Ars Technica rounds up the response to Nvidia's showcase of its DLSS 5 $10,000 AI slop filter and concludes that... It's bad.

(Not kidding about the cost: The demo required two RTX 5090s and they currently cost between $4000 and $6000 each, depending on the model. Yes, they launch at $2000. That was then; this is now.)

I can't afford a 5090. In fact the PC I'm using right now doesn't have an NVIDIA GPU because when I needed a new GPU they were already either unavailable or unreasonably expensive. If things change in the future I can revisit the situation, but really the AMD GPU I'm using is doing fine with the workload I have right now.

And yes, I know, the 5090s can be had for about $3800 add in tax and see where you are, and the higher quality ones are more like $4500 and up. The highest priced one on Newegg is over $8000 as I type this, but that seems extreme.

NVIDIA will pinky swear that they will have it back down to one 5090 before release. Great. It still doesn't look good.

Mutahar at SomeOrdinaryGamers probably has one of the better reviews. He isn't completely negative, though he is negative overall. Nvidia, This Looks Terrible... As the meme above implies, the effect has been compared to Snapchat beauty filters.

The Democratic Party Sees No Problem With Defrauding the American Taxpayer

This says so much about the Democratic Party. Almost 200 House Dems vote against deporting people who commit welfare fraud | Fox News

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigrants participating in welfare fraud despite fierce objections from most Democrats.

Lawmakers voted 231-186 to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats opposing the measure.

Click thru for the details.

If you are curious how your representative voted, that information is available on Congress.gov, where the roll call is recorded. If you don't know who your representative is (you don't?), you can look that up at House.gov by entering your zip code in the "Find Your Representative" box at the upper right-hand side of the page.

The House.Gov pages for each representative makes it easy to send your representative an email, to express your views on current issues, upcoming legislation, etc. Senate.gov is similar, if easier, since there are many fewer senators to search.

We All Need to Spend More Time at the Range

From FOX13 Memphis: Homeowner fires shots at suspects during home invasion in Raleigh

In this instance, Raleigh is a neighborhood in north-central Memphis.

The Memphis Police Department said a masked man rushed into an apartment unit at the Country View Apartments on Stephanie Lane.

"I ran to go grab my protection, and then I started firing shots," the homeowner said. "Especially when I turned and saw them coming in, so I fired shots because I needed them to get out."

It appears, that while they ran like rabbits, no one was injured by the gunfire.

The homeowner’s fiancé and their child were also inside the home at the time of the shooting.

Everyone, including a neighbor, "feels unsafe."

While they may have believed they were safe before this, they were not. You are not protected from crime by the magic dirt under your feet.

Self-defense is a human right, and it appears to by your legal right in Tennessee.

NY Governor Hochul Realizes That She Needs Taxpayers

From The Daily Signal we get the following: Hochul Begs Wealthy Floridians to Return to New York. She Can Pound Sand.

New York’s desperate governor is turning to a well-known practice in New York City: aggressive begging.

While speaking at Politico’s “New York Agenda: Albany Summit” last week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, admitted that the state’s tax base has eroded and that it faces a deepening fiscal crisis.

She then put out a call for wealthy, former New Yorkers to come back to the state so they can be robbed again by beneficent government overlords.

The irony in the situation (I always try to look for the irony) is that it was not that long ago, that Kathy Hochul was telling New Yorkers, who dared to disagree with her, to get the F- outta town. Now she's upset that they took her at her word. See the embedded post from X below.

She makes the point that remote work is to blame. In my lifetime, if you wanted to work in certain industries, you would need to commute to an office in a city center. In many ways, cities like New York are a 19th century (or older) solution to a communications problem. If you need to speak with someone, at a rate faster than mail correspondence, you needed to spend at least some part of the week in close proximity to that person. As communications technology improved, that requirement to be in the same location has disappeared.

🚨BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing BACKLASH after telling Republicans to “jump on a bus and head down to Florida” not long ago. Now, she’s urging wealthy New Yorkers to come back to New York. pic.twitter.com/GzsoUtxHlq

— I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 (@ImMeme0) March 19, 2026

So, does Kathy Hochul want Republicans to leave New York, or does she want them to come back and pay taxes? She should really make up her mind.

As for the people who left, I doubt many will be heading back to the nightmare state that is New York.

Reality TV Star Crashes, Burns, Takes Show with Her

Shouldn't it be called "unreal TV?" There Is a Reason Why Taboos Exist : The Other McCain

You are an intelligent, responsible adult, which is why you’ve never heard of Taylor Frankie Paul. Until Thursday, I hadn’t heard of her either because — as an intelligent, responsible adult — I pay zero attention to “reality TV.” But before getting to her recent failed attempt to break out from that entertainment ghetto, let’s start at the beginning: By 2022, when she was 28, Taylor Frankie Paul had accumulated a massive following on TikTok.

Sounds perfect for "reality TV." Or maybe not.

Cultural taboos ignored? Check. Narcissistic tendencies rampant on social media? Check (or so it seems to me).

So, not only is she a 31-year-old single mom, but she’s also a dangerously violent lunatic. That was enough for ABC to cancel the whole season.

Another California Bridge to Nowhere

This one almost makes sense. It certainly makes more sense than the High Speed Train to Nowhere™.  From The Other McCain: Gavin Newsom’s ‘Cougar Crossing’ Is the Perfect Symbol of Californication. (That's a maximum "almost.")

Behind schedule and over budget and probably doomed to failure — this is a succinct summary of what is officially known as the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, but is now being sarcastically called the “California Cougar Crossing,” a monumental waste of California taxpayers’ money.

This is a wildlife bridge over the Ventura Freeway. The freeway isolated a group of mountain lions, and the isolated population is not doing well. Also several mountain lions have been killed attempting to leave the isolated pocket by crossing the freeway. It is 10 lanes of California driving, so, no surprise there.

Note that it is “nearing completion” and “almost ready,” which are euphemisms for overdue and running behind. The project was supposed to have been completed in 2024 and, having failed to meet their original deadline, the people in charge of it are now promising to finish by the end of this year, but if past performance is any predictor of future results, it won’t be done before 2028.

This thing has cost $114 million, which is cheap on the scale of California infrastructure projects. $77 million of that are taxpayer funds, the rest donations.

I read somewhere that people are worried because it will give the mountain lions access to suburban neighborhoods. What could possibly go wrong?

Wouldn't it have been much cheaper to capture and relocate the mountain lions in question?

Click thru for the typical California touches, like the “Indigenous team members,” the shamanistic rituals, and the ethnobotany, whatever that is.

And for some context/contrast, here is some info on a similar wildlife bridges.

Here is one that was constructed in Colorado for about 10 percent of what California is spending.

Colorado built this wildlife overpass last year for $15 million. It’ll pay for itself within five years from the avoided collisions.

California spending $114 million on a failed wildlife overpass is absurd. https://t.co/AmOr9LDpFW pic.twitter.com/K8vh9LTpoZ
