FORMER GOVERNOR OF PUERTO RICO ARRESTED: FBI arrests former Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez Garced on bribery charges. Post-Publication Update: Her party affiliation appears complicated; Wikipedia lists her as New Progressive, but also says she was a Democrat before 2019 and a Republican thereafter.

US CITIZEN SENTENCED FOR DRUG POSSESSION IN RUSSIA: This story is noteworthy only because the person in question is a sportsball entertainer. The bloviating about this by the White House and the US Dept of State about her innocence probably didn’t help things. Yes, she broke their laws and carried illegal drugs into a foreign country. THC is still a controlled substance under US federal law.
MARICOPA COUNTY DELAYS GOP PRIMARY RESULTS: Maricopa County has announced that election results could be released on Thursday night, after having previously said that the results would be out on Wednesday.

My cow-orker, when told the Florida Woman story: “Was this in the Villages?”
I’ve been to The Villages. A friend of mine and his wife moved there to have some normality. I visited him last October. He and I went to the Tom Woods’ 2000th show event.
Golf carts everywhere. Dance parties to live music in the town square every night. Car shows once a month.
I just couldn’t get over the “fake history” look of the place.
For those not familiar, The Villages are a series of retiree communities each geared to a different income level and …lifestyle.

Well, how about this link:

Thank you. That was charming, in the best sense of an abused word.

No such person exists. I could probably count on one hand the number of TV commercials I’ve seen since my dad bought the first generation Tivo in 1999, and I can still hear that damn jingle. “THE VILLAGES! Florida’s friendliest hometown…”
I was actually unfamiliar with them until recently. But I’m a libertarian weirdo who doesn’t watch TV.
Count me in Tonio, no television
The ’90s are over guys, you can own a TV and still be cool again. /sarc
Everything I watch is 100% legally obtained from ripped DVD and BluRay, of course, and stored on my local NAS. This very moment Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia is playing in the background. Despite being produced by Vice it’s a pretty good series for any of you libertarian psychoactive drug enthusiast types.
I watch a lot of television and I never heard of The Villages until here, recently.
Maybe you have to live in Florida, I dunno.

A bunch of middle schoolers owned this woke teacher when she asked for their pronouns 😂
He was making fun of her and it was beautiful.
Sad that there’s no adult supervision in that classroom.
The fact she’s still not sure if he was making fun of her is just icing on the cake.
Inorite?
Glorious, actually
“teacher”
I am old enough to have had some teachers who were male war veterans with life experience.
Nowadays it seems only woke females who got degrees in “education” and whose brains thus no longer function rationally.
I remember a teacher that was a WW2 vet. He used the old CCB phonetic alphabet when he called out grades “Able Baker Charlie Dog Fox”. He didn’t like to talk about his experiences.
My 7th grade teacher drove a tank in North Africa. Said that’s why he was bald – a bunch hair came off every time he took off his hot helmet.
He played basketball for BYU. He’d pick one boy in the class to be on his side and take on the rest of us boys in the class in a game – we never stood a chance
NOTHING more ruthless than the elders playing basketball on a Saturday morning in the church gym. Trust me, BYU didn’t hone his chops. 😜
Florida is apparently changing that. They’ve dropped education credential requirements for at least some teachers. One of the teacher union front orgs was bitching on social media the other day about a military wife and former waitress (No DeGrEe!) who was observing to teach third grade. This woman did not know proper pedagogical lingo, which was conflated with not knowing the subject matter.
Me too. The only woke thing I remember is being shown this movie, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_to_Be…_You_and_Me, in 1982ish. It was treated as a big deal and I think we had to have parental permission to view. Orange County, CA was pretty conservative.
Ugh… I think every kid in America had to watch that.
We were frequently told that “prejudice” is the worst thing ever, so yeah we got the beginnings of the woke programming in the late 70s, early 80s.
All that stopped by middle school, thank God. Even English or social studies, there was very little that was identifiably woke.
We watched a movie on tolerance when I was in HS. Except it wasn’t in the classroom, it was at the “Colonial” the (until-recently, at the time) black movie theatre. It was called “Blazing Saddles.”
They just had Blazing Saddles as the midnight movie at the local place this past weekend.
I’ll confess I was a little surprised they were willing to show it.
(also, my friends and I are all old and that was “just too late”)
WNBA star Brittney Griner, who has been detained in Russia for over five months, was found guilty on drug charges in a Moscow-area court Thursday. She was then sentenced to nine years in prison.
The judge found that Griner had criminal intent and said she was guilty of smuggling and storing illegal drugs.
Did Kamala release a statement complaining about how they let her off easy?
I wonder how many US citizens were sentenced to prison in the US for drug charges today?
Or how many other US citizens were sentenced for drug charges in other countries that the US media doesn’t report about. And don’t get me started on the treatment of homos in the Arab world…
But Tonio, there are no homosexuals in Iran!!
Not Arabs! Nyah, nyah…
Sigh.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Pretty sure some legit Arab nations have made the same claim, but I can only remember Iran off the top of my head.
You mean like the other guy who has been in a Russian jail who’s been reported as also going to be released with Griner for the arms dealer that Russia wanted free?
Homos? You can’t say homos! That’s offensive to gays!
/AWLF

I read that as Cankles🤭

Orange is the new black, after all.
So, Orange Jump Suit Bad is the new African American?
I’m having trouble getting worked up by this. Drug laws are stupid and there is no justice in Russia. Griner had to know this going in. She played a stupid game. Now she won a stupid prize.
Would you have had a hard time getting worked up if South Korea had thrown the book at Evan and gave him the maximum punishment of five years on prison and a 50 million won fine for his cannabis use? After all, he knew what he was doing.
Evan is our guy. Griner isn’t.
Evan wasn’t stupid enough to try and bring it through customs with him (I hope). She was breaking US law when she left. What made her think it was a good idea to bring it into Russia?
Evan could pay the fine with an appearance on Squid Game.
I’d have been pissed at them that they have a stupid law. I would have been pissed at Evan if he tried to smuggle pot into Korea. I would have felt bad for him, but it still would have been monumentally stupid. Carrying pot through an international airport and customs is monumentally stupid, orders of magnitude more stupider than buying and using in-country.
Yes, she broke their laws and carried illegal drugs into a foreign country.

U.S. President Joe Biden slammed Russia in a statement on Thursday morning following Griner’s sentencing and called on Russia to “release her immediately.”
“Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney,” Biden said.
His hands are clean.
When did possession of marijuana stop being a federal crime in the US?
That’s what I found after a quick search:
In fact, BLM LE will cite attendees of Burning Man for possessing what is entirely legal to possess anywhere else in Nevada.
She didn’t just possess marijuana. She possessed an unknown (to me) quantity of concentrate, and she brought it across an international border.
I doubt that if Customs had caught someone doing what she did, they would have shrugged and said “Eh, its a local matter” and waved her through. I’m pretty sure federal charges would have been brought. What her penalty would have been, I don’t know. If she had enough to qualify as a trafficker, then she would have been looking at significant time.
So for the US to kvetch about the Russians doing exactly what we do is pretty rich.
People are noticing that their votes didn’t count.

Of course.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announces that the Justice Department has charged four current and former Louisville Metro Police Department officers with federal crimes related to death of Breonna Taylor.
I don’t remember the deets of this one. Weren’t the cops cleared of wrongdoing by the state?
Weren’t the cops cleared of wrongdoing by the state?
Yes. The feds have the catch all “violated civil rights” crime for such cases.
They were. From what I recall, they basically panic-fired into the apartment from multiple directions, at times probably firing at their own team members’ muzzle flashes, and she was struck by at least one stray round.

Ooooo… I guess God wanted Hitler to kill all those Jews too.

How many people do we have locked in cages because they were in possession of the same said THC?

Never mind the political prisoners currently being held by the administration.
Yeah. It’s unfortunate she got caught in the middle of a geopolitical problem and if it was really an honest mistake (as opposed to just assuming she wouldn’t be caught or would be treated special) then it really sucks for her that Putin seized on this for an easy dunk and retaliation. I do hope she doesn’t have to spend too long there.
But the crying in our political class over her fate when how many thousands are still in jail here for mere possession? When various places have made or want to make it a crime to possess the exact same thing she’s convicted for? Makes me far more annoyed.
Young me spent a day behind bars in 1973 for a similar offense, followed by 2 years probation. Second time around in 1975 I got off with a fine. Probably white privilege, there were lots of folks who spent considerably more time as guests of the state back then.
So recently it became possible to have your record expunged here in NJ, after jumping through the required hoops. Ain’t got the time or energy for that, and it won’t compensate me for the jobs I failed to get over the years because I checked the little box on the job applications where they ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime.
How did I ever come to loathe the government?

I checked honey prices today, at a big box store. Honey is now in 22 oz/44 oz containers. (A quart of honey is 48 oz)
There was a product called honey blend (honey/corn syrup), a buck 99 for 8 oz., India import.
Hobby Lobby was putting up Christmas craft supplies in June. My husband gave me the side-eye and I said, “Those Christmas crafts aren’t going to get done between Thanksgiving and Christmas, yanno.”
Last year, around Thanksgiving, I remember the woman at the register at JoAnn’s was So Very Done with it all, since the store had been awash in holiday junk for months at that point. lol
I don’t do many crafts. My Christmas crafting involves updating blown Christmas lights and maybe adding an ornament on my ginormous wreath. Hell, this past year, we have no place to put an actual Christmas tree, so I put the ginormous wreath over my fireplace. It’s got 300 lights on it, so it lights up the whole living room by itself.
My mom decided last Christmas she wanted multicolored lights so I let her borrow my Christmas tree, which has about 1,000 lights on it (although I have not gotten around to gluing little mirror bits on the center pole to kake it brighter).
I love what I have and don’t need/want much more. If I can’t display it, what’s the point of having it?
ginormous wreath
These euphemisms.
I took the family to Williamsburg VA one spring break. My wife insisted we stop by Christmas Mouse.
I worked in a jewelry store in the mid 70s. Two older women came in to browse and there was much chatter about how awful it was that Christmas decorations were going up so early. This, of course, led one to ask the other if she’d done any Christmas shopping. “Oh, I finished that in early May.”
And that’s why Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations keep going up earlier.

If you aren’t up-to-date on your Covid vaccines or booster shots, Dr. Anthony Fauci has a stark warning for you: Get those doses now, or prepare for a harsh Covid fall and winter.
“If they don’t get vaccinated or they don’t get boosted, they’re going to get into trouble,” Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, told Los Angeles radio station KNX News 97.1′s “KNX In Depth” on Tuesday. …
“People say, ‘Well the risk to me is low. So why get it?’” Fauci said.
The reason, Fauci explained, is that the longer the virus circulates, the more of a chance it gets to mutate into a new variant that could threaten even low-risk populations. In other words, if you get Covid and fully recover without much fuss, you might personally be fine — but you’re actively extending the virus’s lifespan and giving it a chance to adapt even further.
It’s a respiratory illness. They mutate all the time anyway and the gene therapy jab does not even work as billed. It also has possible side-effects that vastly outweigh the possible benefits for the average person. So, again, fuck off.
JFC, it’s endemic already.
You’re not jabbing your way out of this, you fucking authoritarian shitbag.
Who the fuck actually believes Fauci knows what he’s talking about or thinks he gives a shot about their well-being?
College professors
They’re out there. I think if you go to college towns, Boston, or similar places you’ll find plenty of them.
Yep, The college town 10 miles over is still mask central.
People who watch CNN.
Wait, now we’re back to saying vaccinations will stop the virus from spreading?
Yes, but only the vaccine that was developed for the original strain.
And don’t listen to me, listen to the doctor:
Had a moderate cold. Turned out to be covid. Lasted about a week. Ho hum.
We’re totally immune, since we don’t get tested for summer or winter colds.
You can only have covid, if you’re tested.
It’s sciency.
Yup. 🙄
Where’s Biden? Oh yeah, in fucking quarantine…again.
They said the same thing last fall-winter and the fall-winter before that too. It’s a good thing we aren’t allowed to read Aesop’s fables anymore, or else someone might wonder if there really is any wolf.
I ain’t even mad. Clowns and liars everywhere…
We’re in this together.
Someone has a gun to his head.
Fauci here is identifying the scapegoats who are blamed for the failure of his policies to contain or end Covid.
The Hive Mind has determined that it’s time for another round of panic-mongering.
Tis the season for ballot stuffing and covid mongering!

First debate in the Minnesoda’s gov’s race didn’t go well for King Walz. I linked to the local proggie news site and even they couldn’t spin it for Walz.
The debate was held at Farm Fest and I love the fact that Walz dressed down in a t-shirt because everyone knows farmers are slobs and he’s one of them. Jensen (the GOP yahoo) didn’t wear a suit, but at least he wore a decent button down shirt.
The Vikings should hire Walz’s aide away from him as a lead blocker. His performance in clearing a lane for King Walz to avoid a hard question is amazing
I hear the NG is still hiring, at least Walz has a job waiting.

Megyn’s still got it.
Megyn Kelly is joined by Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, to discuss the current state of the economy, the outrageous response from the Biden administration, his belief that the recession is just getting started,
This is how it starts.
Researchers at Yale University used a new technology to restore cells in some organs of pigs that had just died, bringing the animals’ cells back to function. The findings, which were published Wednesday in the scientific journal Nature, raise profound ethical questions about how medicine defines death but also teases new possibilities for the collection of human organs for transplant. …
The research is still in an early, experimental phase and many years from potential use in humans. It could ultimately help to extend the lives of people whose hearts have stopped beating or who have suffered a stroke. The technology also shows potential to dramatically shift how organs are collected for transplant and increase their availability to patients in need.
Will headshots suffice or do we need to start making silver bullets?
So, I may become collectible. The recipient better get a discount.

‘Corn sweat’ is making the air in the Midwest oppressively muggy
And that’s different from other plants how?
Well, okay, I’ll bite even though I don’t care. Corn and soybean leaves have a greater surface area than, say, wheat, prairie grass, and wildflowers, and corn and soybeans have largely displaced native prairie grasses. More, bigger leaves == more moisture. Also, many of the trees on the prairie were planted and nurtured by settlers in the 19th century.
But again, I don’t care. Summer heat is hot.
Sure, genetically-modified food crops (including those modified by old-fashion selective breeding) have greater surface area per plant, but native grasses didn’t grow in discrete rows with bare earth between plants as in modern monoculture farming.
As near as I can find out, evapotranspiration in native grasses is equivalent to, or higher than corn and soybeans, so it wouldn’t make a difference if Iowa was pasture or field.
Either way, this summer from my observations to have had a lot more humid days than the last few years.
Be nice if higher humidity also meant more rain. Its been a month since we’ve had a decent rain here.
“Corn Sweat” sounds like a new flavor of Doritos
Or maybe it’s Corn Pop’s eldest kid…
When faced with the Mighty Joe Biden he had Cornpop Flop Sweat. Or as my people say, Maispopflopschweiß.
It’s Gatorade flavored. It’s got what plants crave! It’s got electrolytes!
It’s the antidote for the pork sweats.
It sounds like something found in the cleavage of a big-boned midwestern farm gal, something that Tres Cool would wallow in.
Psst…..most of that is for animal feed.
And ethanol.
…and not enough used for ‘shine… Ethanol is a big waste of better corn uses
Yup. Cars and cows is where the vast majority of all that corn goes.

The View: “Our show hates you and wants you dead, but please come on it so we can yell slurs at you and prop up our ratings!”
Team DeSantis: “The governor would rather count the grains of rice in his lunch. Have a nice day.”
He should go on the show, sit quietly and absorb the abuse, then turn to the camera and say “These women are fucking insane and anyone who patronizes the companies
who advertise on this insane show should stop immediately.”
It’s a hen night gone bad every day on that show. There is a core audience of Karens that watches religiously. Nothing is to be gained by going there. Those old hens can say anything and stay on the air. Imagine the wretched psychic pong in the air during filming. That could drive normal people insane.
“American Academy of Pediatrics is accused of pushing trans-identifying teens towards ‘nuclear option’ of puberty-blockers, hormones and eventually surgery – and blocking a review into its practices”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11074425/Top-U-S-child-health-body-fire-drugs-care-trans-identifying-youth.html
This isn’t going to end well.
There is nothing politics touches that it doesn’t destroy.
I googled (literally using Google) the term “rapid onset gender dysphoria” looking for the studies on the influence of peer groups and social media on making adolescents suddenly believe they’re trans, particularly female-to-male.
And guess what? Google had pretty much buried the actual study under a torrent of sites and peer groups condemning the study.
I started to wonder: is the pushing of youth trans culture just another aspect of the depopulation plan that Karl Strauss types espouse?
Don’t have more than one child! Don’t use electricity! Don’t build more water reservoirs or treatment plants! Don’t eat meat! Take your vaxx!! Don’t heat/cool your house! Don’t drive a car and don’t visit your relatives! Provoke unstable nuclear weapon-bearing countries!!
Now we can add “make yourself sterile!”
It’s a socially contagious moral panic, a religious awakening of sorts.
And it’s completely fucked up.
A few years ago an acquaintance from one of the old gaming communities I used to frequent was in our Teamspeak server one day talking about this documentary he saw called Jesus Camp. He was freaked out by these “creepy” evangelical fundies “grooming” the kids into their religious practices. This is a guy who has been attending anime cons dressed up as female anime characters and hanging out in furry-adjacent online communities since he was in high school. People are strange.
I don’t think it’s much more than “smash the system!”
Just another cog in the leftist machinery aimed at tearing society apart and replacing it with dystopia.
I think you’re right in the sense that these people are all in a death cult. So they certainly won’t fight against things that further their ideology. IMO trans-freakoutery comes out of intersectional feminism, not the WEF people, but the WEF people will certainly embrace and promote it because it fits right in to what they want.

If I bid on this, Mrs. Animal would be calling a divorce lawyer. But it shore is purty.
That is a beauty.
You need one of these to go with it.

There was an awesome .22 pepperbox too! A beaut.
I did business with that guy once before. He was OK to do business with.
That reminds me. I need to sell a bunch of my Dad’s old guns.
You could give Glibs first crack at them…
Maybe. I need to inventory them. My nephew took a bunch, and I took a bunch. I think there’s about 12 more left.
Nothing to see here
Walmart has begun to lay off corporate employees, the company confirmed Wednesday, about a week after it slashed its profit outlook and warned that consumers had pulled back on discretionary spending due to inflation.
——-
Walmart is the largest employer in the country, with nearly 1.6 million workers in the U.S. The company, seen as a bellwether for the nation’s economy, spooked investors July 25 when it cut its outlook for quarterly and full-year profit guidance. That warning had a chilling effect on the retail sector, dragging down the stocks of companies including Macy’s and Amazon and sending up a flare about the health of the American consumer.
Walmart said at the time that as shoppers spent more on necessities such as groceries and fuel, they were skipping over high-margin merchandise including apparel. It said it would have to cut prices to sell more of those items, especially as a glut of inventory piled up in its stores and at those of competitors such as Target and Bed Bath & Beyond.
Later that same week, Best Buy cut its profit and sales forecast, saying it was seeing softening demand for consumer electronics — big-ticket, discretionary purchases that some shoppers can postpone.
We need to send out more stimulus checks, that’s all.
Why does Walmart like Putin so much?
When I return to work next week, I’ll be getting back to hiring people.
The company I work at currently has 70+ open job postings. We can’t hire enough people, and we don’t have enough floor space to make all the stuff our customers are asking for.
Don’t worry, Walmart. Gauleiter Wolf is still pushing his plan to throw gas on the inflationary fire by sending a $2K check to every Pennsylvania household. Yeah, I’ll cash mine, but don’t think it is because doing so will “fight inflation.”
It’s about $3.50 in Texas as of last fill up. But we have the refineries. Something to think about when secession occurs.

Bullshit
Sweet Jesus…
Moovin’ on up!
New owners are going to have a cow when they see that udderly ridiculous shit.
They might have a beef with the rancher.
They’re going to milk the insurance company for all they can.
Time to put it out to pasture.
That looks like a cowsay.
What’s a cowsay?
Moooo
Well haters, I’m going to enjoy National IPA Day.
I didn’t even know, and I just cracked into my office stash of Bell’s Two Hearted IPAs. Cheers!
Are you hiring?
I’m actively job hunting.
I’m willing to discuss an ammo allowance. How are you at carpentry?
I’ve actually come around a bit on IPAs. I like good ones, still hate the ERMAGERDHOPS!!!11 varieties, and IPA sours, and any other stupid shit some brewers insist on doing with them.
A former coworker made an IPA based on an English recipe. It was advertised as being close to the original English IPAs. It was a good beer.
Samuel Smith’s IPA used to be good.
Bell’s Two Hearted is OK.
Yards used to have a good IPA, but I think they changed their recipe. I can’t stand it now.
Otherwise, I’ll pass on IPAs.
Too tangy and unbalanced for me. Lagers and ales are more appealing if I am not having my beloved bourbon.
I had no idea. I am having an Odell lager with a burger.
OK fine. Because I’m a contrarian I’m-a have an amber ale
“Release the Tape: Revolver Has Definitive Proof FBI Is Hiding Critical Footage of Jan 6 “Pipe Bomber”
An exclusive analysis by Revolver News can prove that the FBI is in possession of, but has refused to release, security camera footage of the January 6 pipe bomber planting the pipe bomb at the DNC building at 7:52 p.m. on January 5th.
This extraordinary revelation should be the immediate subject of Congressional inquiry as to why the FBI has stonewalled release of the footage.”

Must of been one hell of a crack pipe Hunter Biden left behind if it got mistaken for a pipe bomb.
The FBI probably provided the damned materials to make the “pipe bomb” if they didn’t pay the bomber to do it.
They need time to get the fake so good that everyone agrees “Yes, that is certainly Donald Trump planting the pipe bomb, just after he overpowered his Secret Service handlers.”
“We’re not groomers.”

How long before a drag queen gets shot?
I believe the now deleted original video was from a proud momma….
Of course it was. Momma is thrilled for the social signaling and what she thinks is immunity from criticism because Johnny is “different.”
For a certain segment of the population, social media is a poison that seeps into their brains and takes hold.
Good Lord, fire up the helicopters. That shit’s fucked.
How long before a drag queen gets shot?
When they start pulling this shit in predominantly black schools, it’ll go to better than even money.
I took a lot of pics for you people today. I’ll try to get them up this weekend.
Steaks with guns?

Youre in my neck of the woods again! A little farther than the Bedford Springs, but still close.
My trip pictures are still on my phone and camera.
You should do a travelogue when you are ready. That was an awesome cross-country adventure.
For medicinal purposes or recreational?

So, you are in a *dons sunglasses* red state?
