Articles highlighting the increase in Russian activity in Africa and quite interesting. Thanks Bad.

I did the best I could in terms of articles last night, badanov, but it went on long enough I gave up and left it for this morning.

So today I’m getting done in bits over the course of the day, which is no doubt a better way to handle it anyway.
trailing wife- 08/26/2025 16:07

It appears the attacks have declined in intensity. Still, I have at least a coupla more days to mitigate the attacks.
badanov- 08/26/2025 14:16

Attacks are still ongoing.
badanov- 08/25/2025 21:30

800 million hits?!?! Lil ol’ us? I had no idea we were that interesting.

Well done building defenses, badanov, on Fred’s strong foundation.

Fred: What did you do? We had duplicate records dating all the way back to 2001. Now we don't.
badanov- 08/18/2025 23:47

I figured it out, Fred. No apology due at all, since I hadn’t said what the problem was, and did say it was minor enough to wait until later. You came in well ahead of schedule.
trailing wife- 08/17/2025 15:50

Sorry. I forgot to tell you I fixed that.

Whether deliberate or an artifact of the changeover, the small problem I was having in Hoover has entirely disappeared.

Thank you!

Cracker Barrel co-founder Tommy Lowe slams CEO Julie Felss Masino after attempted Bud Liting

[NYPOST] The 93-year-old co-founder of Cracker Barrel blasted the homestyle restaurant chain's execs for allowing changes that damaged the 56-year-old business as he urged CEO Julie Felss Masino to leave the logo alone.

Tommy Lowe, co-founder of the first Cracker Barrel in 1969, accused the former Taco Bell executive of trying to rival the chain's widely criticized $700 million modernization effort.

''They're trying to modernize to be like the competition — Cracker Barrel doesn't have any competition,'' Lowe told WTVF Thursday. ''I heard she was at Taco Bell. What's Taco Bell know about Cracker Barrel and country food? They need to work on the food and service and leave the barrel — the logo alone.''

The nonagenarian's comments come after Cracker Barrel executives reversed course on a much despised logo redesign that removed the famous ''barrel'' and Uncle Herschel from the chain's branding.

Lowe slammed the rebrand as ''pitiful'' — saying Masino didn't understand Cracker Barrel's identity because of her background in fast food.

''Spending $700 million dollars doing that is throwing money out the window,'' he said.

Lowe claims Masino doesn't know who he is and revealed he has never met with the executive since she was named Cracker Barrel's President and CEO in July 2023.

Masino began implementing changes to the menu, interior design and prices soon after assuming the coveted position in November.

The initial changes went under the radar for most customers, but Masino's most recent alteration raised eyebrows across the nation.

Lowe, who served as Cracker Barrel's Vice President of Operations and held a decades-long seat on the board of directors, said Masino was trying to compete with competition that didn't exist.

Following the immense backlash and plunging stocks, Cracker Barrel executives decided to reverse course and return to the ''Old Timer'' logo.

''We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel,'' the company said in a statement. ''We said we would listen, and we have. Our new logo is going away and our 'old timer' will remain.''

The about-face followed days of protests on social media against Cracker Barrel's rebranding efforts — capped on Tuesday with Trump weighing in and advising the company to go back to the original logo design.

The Newsoms' blatant beak-wetting is politics as usual, but it shouldn''t be

[NYPOST] California ''First Partner'' Jennifer Siebel Newsom making bank off her husband's position is outrageous — and fresh proof that American politicians have gotten far too comfortable with the dirty dealing that pervades politics.

The Post reported Thursday that Siebel Newsom's nonprofit, Representation Project, pays her a hefty $150,000 — while raking in donations from companies that have an interest in winning the favor of her husband, California Gov. Gavin Governor Hair Gel Newsom
Gavin <q>Governor Hair Gel</q> Newsom

...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland...
.

AT&T, which has spent upward of $2 million to lobby the state on landline phone rules so far this year, forked over up to $25,000 for Representation Project's ''Flip the Script'' gala.

Comcast, AT&T's competitor, and PG&E have donated similar amounts to fund the swanky event, which seems to be used as an excuse to butter up the gov's pals; last year's gala honored philanthropist Roselyne Swig, whose family has donated more than $100,000 to Gavin's political career over the years.

Oh, and Representation Project's No. 1 independent contractor is Girls Club Entertainment LLC, a for-profit production company . . . also run by Siegel Newsom.

The LLC billed Representation Project for $150,000 in ''writer/producer/director'' services in 2024.

If that weren't enough pocket-lining, Siebel licenses her lefty documentaries, like her 2015 film about masculinity (eye-rolling title: ''The Mask You Live In'') to the state's public schools.

Her job title might be ''documentary filmmaker,'' but it sure looks like what she's pulling the big bucks simple for being Mrs. Newsom.

Such incestuous gorging at the public trough is grotesque, yet the Newsoms don't even try hide it — because in-your-face beak-wetting is so yawn-inducingly normal in the political world they live in.

Think of Hunter Biden using his dad's position as vice president, then president, to land high-paying, unearned positions and hawk his art.

Or the wealthy Clinton Foundation donors who scored government favors during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.

A few pols who go to extremes may face consequences, as taking literal gold bars as bribes finally sank Sen. Bob Menendez . . . in his second federal corruption trial.

And, yes, you can absolutely find blatant outrages on the Republican side of the aisle.
Like Dennis Hastert...
Indeed, that blatant pay-to-play and palm-greasing is the rule all across our politics — such that Democrats' most likely 2028 nominee is shameless about it — should be lasting caution for caution:

Whenever anyone says the government should fix some problem, remember that the fixers will be using it as an excuse to line their own pockets.

Illinois Gov JB Pritzker says ''action will be met with a response'' after Trump threatens to send National Guard to Chicago

[NYPOST] Illinois' Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker said the state ''will not stand idly by'' if President Donald Trump

...Oh, noze! Not him!...
makes good on his threat to deploy the National Guard to reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
to respond to crime in the Windy City.

''Unlike Donald Trump, we keep our promises,'' the governor wrote Wednesday on X. ''We will not stand idly by if he decides to send the National Guard to intimidate Chicagoans.''

''Action will be met with a response,'' he continued.

Pritzker's comments are just the latest in his recent feud with Trump, as the federal government weighs whether to send troops to Chicago.

Last week, the governor said there is no crime emergency in Chicago and Trump is ''attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families.''

''The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority,'' Pritzker said on Saturday. ''There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders. We will continue to follow the law, stand up for the illusory sovereignty of our state, and protect the people of Illinois.''

ICE nabs child sex offenders, gang member off streets of Washington, DC

[NYPOST] President Trump's takeover of Washington, DC, has led to ICE agents picking up child sex offenders, a Tren de Aragua gangbanger and numerous other criminals who were previously free on the streets of the nation's capital, The Post has learned.

''President Trump was clear: he will make D.C. safe and beautiful again,'' a senior Department of Homeland Security official told The Post.

The official added: ''ICE and CBP continue to arrest and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens— We will support the re-establishment of law and order and public safety, so Americans can feel safe enjoying the beauty and history of our nation's capital.''

Feds nabbed Mexican migrant David Perez-Teofani, who was previously charged with aggravated sexual battery of a child under the age of 13 and felony indecent liberties-proposed sex acts, according to DHS.

Tren de Aragua gangbanger Wilker Patino-Solis was caught after he was previously arrested for felony robbery. He also had four previous encounters with federal immigration authorities.

Salvadoran migrant Mario Marquez-Garcia had a rap sheet that included previous arrests for DUI, aggravated assault on a cop with a weapon, assault, robbery, failure to appear and violation of a court order. He also had eight previous encounters with the feds.

The nation's capital saw an unprecedented 12-day streak without a murder Tuesday. And crime stats have been down since Trump stepped in.

In the last 14 days, total crime dropped 11% citywide, with sharp reductions across the board including robberies (-42%), assaults with a deadly weapon (-13%), carjacking (-85%), car theft (-24%), ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful crime (-25%) and property crime (-10%), the DC Police Union said in an X post Monday.

The city's Democratic mayor acknowledged the results on Wednesday.

''We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city,'' said DC Mayor Muriel Bowser in a Wednesday presser.

''The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings,'' Bowser noted, later posting the full stats on her X account.

''We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer,'' the mayor said.

Washington has long been one of America's most ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful major cities — with a murder rate that surpasses reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown

reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown

...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
and is nearly seven times higher than New York City.
