This clematis blooms in May, rests all summer, then does the "I got one more in me" meme at the end of October. My favorite plant

Whatever the record is for most points surrendered in a 3-game span, the Bengals are going to obliterate it here

Won't anyone think of poor Farmer Bessent's pain
From the Wikipedia article on Scott Bessent: Wealth As of December 28, 2024, Bessent's net worth was at least $521 million according to his financial assets disclosure by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics; his actual net worth is speculated to be around $600 million. At that time, he owned more than $50 million in each of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF, and the Invesco QQQ as well as real estate in the Bahamas worth $5 million to $25 million and a home in Cashiers, North Carolina, worth $5 million to $25 million.

Islamophobia is so breathtakingly natural for these people. Mamdani's whole campaign has revolved around his deep love for his city and you're a bigoted idiot if you don't see that, whatever your policy differences might be www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/n...
"God forbid another 9/11," he said. "Can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Mr. Rosenberg, who had already referred to Mr. Mamdani as a "terrorist," interjected. "Yeah, I could,” he said. "He'd be cheering." After a brief pause, Mr. Cuomo chuckled. "That's another problem," he said. Late Wednesday, Mr. Cuomo's campaign posted, and then took down, an A.I.-generated video depicting Mr. Mamdani's supporters as trespassers, domestic abusers, pimps, drug dealers and drunken drivers, and showing a Black shoplifter in a kaffiyeh. The video called Mr. Mamdani an "inexperienced radical" and portrayed him eating rice with his hands, a common practice among South Asians that has been frequently invoked by the right to mock Mr. Mamdani. Mr. Azzopardi said the video was posted "in error" by a junior staff member. Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee, accused Mr. Mamdani in the race's final debate of supporting "global jihad." Mr. Mamdani bristled. “I have never, not once" supported jihad or other forms of violence, he said, suggesting that the term was a smear connected to his Muslim faith. Standing alongside him on Thursday to endorse his candidacy, Mayor Eric Adams said he was motivated to stop Mr. Mamdani for a variety of reasons, including that he had not outright condemned the phrase "globalize the intifada." Then he veered into a tangent. "New York can't be Europe, folks. I don't know what is wrong with people," he said. "You see what's playing out in other countries because of Islamic extremism."

Another harmless little brief detention and prompt release that American citizens should be totally fine with, right Brett Kavanaugh?
Chicago Tribune U.S. citizens say they're also being questioned by federal immigration agents for proof of citizenship. Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her. Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk. Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said. Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents. "I am Latina and I am a service worker," Greeley said. "I fit the description of what they're looking for now." During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she "doesn't look like" a Greeley. "They said this isn't real, they kept telling me I'm lying, I'm a liar," Greeley recalled. "I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance." When the agents let her go, Greeley got home and screamed when she saw the shadow on her door. Days after the incident, Greeley said, it's still "terrifying." "I just have to stay strong and not think about it, I'm still here, luckily,” she said, tearing up. “All those other people are getting taken."

American Gestapo
Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers, she said. "It was heartbreaking to watch," said Watson. "Even if you're not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible." Watson said she went into the building to help one of the residents and was shocked by what she saw. "Stuff was everywhere," said Watson. "You could see people's birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy."

Does the 4th amendment not exist anymore
Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties. Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go. "I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up," Jones said. "I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

Ceding immigration to the right or referring to ICE raids as a distraction from health care is idiotic
Zuniga, a hairstylist in the Hermosa neighborhood, said she and her friends set aside an afternoon plan so they could join the protesters who were following the Border Patrol officers. "I totally forgot about the rest of my birthday because ... this is way more important to me than just celebrating myself,” Zuniga said through tears. "This was celebrating my people." Zuniga, the daughter of Honduran immigrants, said there were no immigration laws regulating the first Europeans on this continent: "It was not theirs to begin with. "This country was built off of immigrants," she added. "We're what makes America great."

Max is my rep and this is so incredibly pathetic. I've worked downtown for years and the only time I feared for my life was wearing a Bengals shirt at a Browns game (and by "feared for my life" I mean "had a referee whistle blown at me")
"The people of Cleveland deserve to feel safe again,” Miller wrote. “They deserve to live without fear. The people I represent should be able to go to a Guardians, Browns or Cavs game without fearing for their lives. There is no higher duty of government than this."

Brett Kavanaugh is a-ok with US citizens being briefly detained and promptly released like this www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/16/e...
An Elgin man who was born in the United States said he was handcuffed, questioned and placed in a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol vehicle before dawn, part of a blitz of immigration enforcement activity reported in the Chicago area early Tuesday. Joe Botello, 37, recalled being jolted awake before 6 a.m. by his home shaking and the sounds of yelling upstairs on the main floor. He said masked and armed agents were calling out the name of another man in Spanish and had forcibly entered his house in the 900 block of Chippewa Drive, destroying a front door and glass patio door in the process. "I'm just blessed that I'm still alive," Botello said. "I've been hearing it and seeing it through social media. But it never crossed my mind that it was going to happen here at the house ... where I live." As for the apparent raid at the Elgin home, Botello said agents had him put his hands behind his head and back up slowly through the patio door, telling him to be careful because the frame was filled with shards of glass. He said that he and five male roommates were handcuffed outside and placed into a vehicle that said U.S. Customs and Border Patrol on the side. Botello added that he was never told why he was handcuffed or read his rights. The father of five said his first thought was that he would be late for work. Then he was grateful his children, who he has on weekends, weren't with him at the time because the scene would have terrified them. Botello spent the rest of the morning calling his daughter, patching the two empty door frames with plywood and scrambling to contact the loved ones of his roommates, in the hopes of tracking down their location.

Wonder what Bernie Moreno thinks about JD Vance calling Trump 'America's Hitler' www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09...
"I think it's fair to say that Hitler and Nazis should have a special dark place in history, and not (be) compared with anyone or anything. Because you see when you do that, you're inviting people, crazy people, to take actions in their own hands, like what we saw tragically in Utah," said Moreno. "When a Democrat leader says that President Trump is Hitler or a Nazi, it's a bat signal to crazy people."
