I Just Had A Talk With A Nice Canadian Lady
couldn't find a part# for an O-ring for my water filter, so I called the company, which is Canadian, for help.
I got a nice lady on the phone and she asked where I was calling from and I said Pennsylvania. She says, Oh, the states. I quickly say, I didn't vote for Trump. She laughs and told me I wouldn't believe how many Americans apologized to her about Trump. I told her to add me to the list, she says, not necessary, I say yes it is, it makes me feel better. She says hopefully it will be over soon, November, right? I say to her that if we don't win this election it will be over. She says I will be watching with good vibes. I talked to her 10 more minutes about the good times I had in Canada, we agreed that the people in Montreal were a bit gruff.
Oh yeah, I say, about my O-ring. She gave me the part# and a US company to order it from, it's on the way. Dammit, Canadians are nice people.

Politics / The Utah USPS Worker Who Dumped Hundreds of Ballots
« Last post by SVPete on September 23, 2026, 09:32:27 AM »The Utah USPS Worker Who Dumped Hundreds of Ballots

Mail-in ballots are so secure ... and should someone be looking for the union label? I suppose that latter depends on whether the pertinent neighborhood typically votes "Red" or "Blue".

The Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed the indictment Tuesday against former U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employee Damon Matai Seei, who now faces a federal grand jury on charges of “unlawful secretion, destruction, and delay of mail.” But we’re not talking just any old mail — in this case, it's hundreds of ballots. In other words, Seei was manipulating election results and negating voters’ voices.
“When American voters lawfully cast their vote, they should feel confident that it is counted,” insisted Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter. And U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak for the District of Utah agreed, “When the defendant allegedly threw away the mail he was entrusted to deliver, he also threw away the chance for those citizens to exercise their right to vote.”
Authorities believe that when USPS sent Seei to deliver some 300 primary mail-in ballots — and other mail — in June to Eagle Mountain residents, he instead went to a church parking lot and tossed ballots and some other items in the dumpster. The DOJ provided a picture of the dumpster as part of its press release.

Karoline Leavitt may go down as the best White House press secretary this country has ever had. Her exit last month stung, but now that she’s no longer behind the podium, she’s dishing about what happened behind the scenes, and what she revealed on Tuesday is a doozy.
Appearing on Sean Hannity's podcast, Leavitt pulled back the curtain on the briefing room and revealed how much of what happens during White House daily press briefings is just for show. According to Leavitt, reporters who hit her with loaded questions on camera would later come to her privately and apologize once the cameras stopped rolling.
“You name people that act one way when they're questioning you,” Hannity began. “They want their moment, right? They want their clip for the night so they get their time on the evening news.”
“Exactly,” Leavitt confirmed.
“And then off air they're totally different people. Do you find that a lot?”
“Yeah, that's true.”
“Would you say they're phony?” Hannity asked.
“Yeah, there's a performative aspect to the briefing room, in fairness, I think on both sides, right, but definitely with the press. And they have to do that because their bosses are demanding it. There's been times reporters have even said to me, ‘I'm sorry, I had to ask that today, you know, my bosses really wanted me to ask that.’ They know it's an unfair question, but they're not in control of their own livelihood. They are dictated by the editors and the execs at some of these companies.”

No info about motive - from the police or, AFAIK, from "journalists" independently digging into his background. Of course, if he was a MAGApublican who attacked a trans or a muslim or some other Prog-favored-demographic person, we'd know everything about back to when he was caught at age 5 running with scissors. That's how MSM curiosity leans.
BTW, this is getting sub-minimal coverage in US MSM, because:

Quote
An armed transgender Antifa leader of a cell in the Dallas area has been unmasked after he was arrested over an attack outside the Republican midterm convention on Thursday.
Hunter David Holmes, 23, of Midlothian, Texas, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of assault with bodily injury and obstructing a highway after police said he attacked multiple conservatives. Holmes is the unmasked identity of the Antifa militant known as "Doberman." He is a man who identifies as a woman and uses the name "Paige." He was born Dec. 6, 2002.
Police are also investigating whether Holmes' handgun was stolen. He has not been charged over that suspicion.

The DUmpster / Re: So you live in assisted living...we are closing the doors you have 30 days to mo
« Last post by SVPete on September 23, 2026, 08:13:03 AM »There's a bit more to this than OS posted, https://www.3newsnow.com/news/local-news/families-scramble-to-find-new-homes-after-hickory-villa-assisted-living-announces-sale , not that I think he was being deceptive. The ALF was being operated by a non-profit, which sold the facility. This was due to being unable to keep operating with increasing operating costs (and Nebraska's Medicaid payments probably not keeping pace). This would have been a problem spanning years, and the ALF management would have let residents and families know that they were having problems.
Anyway, the sale of the facility was not due to "corporate greed". The few news stories I could find said nothing about the purchaser, whether it's an operator of ALFs and SNFs or just a real estate buyer. If it is such an operator, that Hickory Village is a fully staffed, etc. ALF, suggests that there is some fundamental problem with the facility itself, requiring that it be closed as unsuited for operation. There's probably more to this story, more than OS knows.
As for, "Because of strict corporate regulations during this closure process, our staff members are unfortunately prohibited from physically helping residents pack or box up their belongings," this is probably due to some combination of:
* Precluding lawsuits from nurses, aides, and orderlies injured while doing moving they are not trained to do;
* Precluding lawsuits from patients/family claiming their belongings were damaged or lost due to staf negligence;
* Union contract.

Embarrassing...
Unless you are one of his MAGA supporters, you were probably insulted by the blowhard, ugly American, that embarrasses America in the face of the world.
Talks about how great he is. How he invaded another country and took their leader hostage , and all their resources. That was so embarrassing.
America cannot rid itself of this postule soon enough.
