¡Martes por la tarde, enlaces mexicanos!

I finally had an open Saturday where it was under 100 in the morning to do some yard work.  That mutant Palo Verde/Ocotillo growing in my yard that would probably make the perfect natural anti-personnel barrier should I cultivate a line of thorny trees tangled with a fucking cactus around my house may seem cool, but its a pain in the ass.

So my oldest son and I took an axe to the damn thing.  I’ll have to kill the stump later.

 

¡Enlaces!

Ovidio Guzman was extradited to the US last week and quietly plead not guilty to money laundering.  Who is he?  Joaquin Guzman’s son.  Who is Joaquin Guzman?  You might know him better as “El Chapo.”

I’m getting ready to go out on a limb and say these guys don’t really look Mexican, but AP found the only kid there for a featured image.

Amazon opens a delivery hub in Mexico City, while Heineken announces they plan to build a brewery.

A bus crashes into a ravine in the Andes, no cannibalism required.

Javier Milei continues to make journos cope and seethe.  He even stole Rand Paul’s chainsaw gag!

 

A fitting song for our times.  Have a great Tuesday!

    How does a guy that young have a fashion sense stuck in the ’70s?

    • SDF-7

      He’s ahead of the curve for when fashion cycles back around. Trendsetter!

      It’s amazing, isn’t it? Makes me want to re-watch Point Blank.

  2. The Other Kevin

    I wonder what evidence they need to charge someone with money laundering these days. Multiple bank accounts? 20 shell companies? Payments to family members?

    • SDF-7

      No direct evidence!

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      Last name other than Biden.

      • Compelled Speechless

        They’re not covering up for Hunter because of his last name. They’re covering up for the Bidens because they’re doing exactly what most of DC’s elite is doing. If Uncle Joe can go down for taking bribes, laundering money and selling influence to the point of possible treason, any of them could. That stuff is now the entire reason for the elite’s existence. There are too many people invested in making sure that gravy train never stops.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Now? It pretty always has been.

      • Compelled Speechless

        That may be true, but it’s become much more prevalent, the amount of money moved has gone up exponentially and they’ve become less and less concerned with trying to make it look like it’s not happening.

    Javier Milei: Just how amenable is Argentina to expats I wonder.

    • Suthenboy

      That would be a big mistake. Argentina has not been a hair away from communism for so long because the culture there is pro-individualist and pro-free market.

    In support of urging brewers to look further south. Economy Minister Raquel Buenrostro has also highlighted how, unlike the north, the southern region has good water supplies and ample availability of clean energy.

    Not to mention thousands of good-paying jobs for all those Haitians that are seeking “asylum.”

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      Does clean energy mean fossil fuel energy but because it’s used in the current third world country and not the current 1st world country, it doesn’t count?

    Wealth destruction as national policy

    “Net-zero” financing commitments from banks and asset managers should align with goals to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius and be backed by “credible” metrics and targets, the U.S. Treasury said on Tuesday.

    The Treasury released the new, voluntary principles as world leaders, celebrities and business moguls, converged on Manhattan to focus attention on the climate crisis during the U.N. General Assembly week.

    The nine principles aim to promote consistency, credibility and transparency across net-zero pledges by financial institutions.

    Among them, the Treasury prescribed that financial institutions should practice “transition finance” that can support decarbonization in high-emitting sectors that are difficult to abate. This includes providing financing, investment, or advisory services to support “a managed and accelerated transition from high-emitting to zero- or near-zero-emissions assets.”

    Examples of this would be to phase out coal-fired power plants before the end of their useful lives, to be replaced with wind or solar power, the Treasury said.

    Institutions also should bring their clients’ and portfolio company investments into line with temperature limits. U.S. Treasury officials told reporters that this goal can fit in with institutions’ fiduciary responsibilities to clients.

    Negative returns are good for your portfolio.

      to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius and be backed by “credible” metrics and targets, the U.S. Treasury said on Tuesday.

    Mark Carney, the U.N.’s Special Envoy for Climate Action, endorsed the principles as aligning with the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero’s own planning framework.

    He said in a statement that encouraging financial institutions to consider climate solutions to decarbonize existing businesses, “will help investment flow where it needs to get the entire economy to net zero,”

    “This will strengthen growth, create jobs, and reduce energy prices – all while lowering emissions,” Carney added.

    And then the green energy fairy waved her magic wand.

    And they all lived happily ever after.

    The End.

    U.S. Senate relaxes dress code as Republicans slam rule change

    Sept. 19 (UPI) — U.S. Senators will be allowed to wear whatever they want on the Senate floor, now that Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer has loosened the chamber’s informal dress code.

    “Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said Monday in a statement.

    Schumer’s new dress code directive was sent to the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms last week, and went into effect Monday.

    While Senators will be allowed to wear whatever they want, staff and outside visitors will still be required to adhere to the stricter dress code of coats and ties for men, and business attire for women.

    The new dress code will allow Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who frequently wears shorts and hoodies instead of suits, to vote on the Senate floor. Fetterman, who returned to the Senate in April after receiving treatment for depression following a stroke, managed to skirt the dress code in recent weeks by voting from the edge of the chamber.

    Didn’t Mr. Potato Head used to come with a bow tie?

    • Drake

      Fetterlump version 2 is relieved.

    • Nephilium

      While Senators will be allowed to wear whatever they want, staff and outside visitors will still be required to adhere to the stricter dress code of coats and ties for men, and business attire for women.

        Its a little funny

    • The Other Kevin

      Call me old fashioned, but maybe have some fucking respect for the office you hold and the people you represent. I’m not aware of any medical condition that prevents you from dressing appropriately.

      • Zwak says the real is not governable, but self-governing.

    Ovidio Guzmán López, son of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, pleaded not guilty to drug and money laundering charges Monday afternoon.

    Making his first court appearance since being extradited from Mexico on Friday, Guzmán López wore an orange jumpsuit and restraints at the Dirksen United States Courthouse in downtown Chicago.

    Did Guzmán López commit any criminal acts in the Northern District of Illinois, or does the U.S. just claim worldwide jurisdiction over drug producers and Chicago won the prize for trying him?

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      When does the no cash bail start for Illinois. I’m not seeing any violent crimes here. They should set him free on his own recognizance.

        It is no accident that the phrase “The pen is mightier than the sword” is attributed to Cardinal Richelieu in a play or novel…or some such. I dont remember the work but the phrase stuck. in my mind. I raised that point in a history class in HS when one of the cyclical ‘Cant burn the flag’ hullabaloos was going on.
        My point was completely missed by most and by the rest not well received.

    So, last night I had a nightmare. Toward the end of this nightmare, I thought, “This would make a GREAT book. I’ve never written horror before, but this is good stuff! I need to remember this.”

      • Mojeaux

        In-dream, I considered it, but I was too drugged up (Tylenol PM) to get out of bed and go looking for a piece of paper, so I concentrated on trying to remember it for when I woke up. That didn’t work, either, obvs.

      • Mojeaux

        So, if it was that bad, why did you watch it 3 times?

      • robc

        Because the MST3K parts were really, really good in that one.

        Plus, at the time, I would watch it regularly. And there were marathons sometimes.

      While researching for the story, which will air Wednesday at 9 pm, a then heavily pregnant Drysdale was trying to decipher what the Registrar default names a child if the parents’ first submission is rejected.

      She wasn’t getting a clear answer from the government body’s media team, and as she was about to give birth, Drysdale decided it was perfect timing to take matters into her own hands.

      “We thought, what is the most outrageous name we can think of that will definitely not be accepted?” Drysdale tells news.com.au.

      “Methamphetamine Rules we thought would surely get rejected, and then when it does, we can find out what name the Registrar chooses.

      “It was really just a lighthearted, curious attempt to get an answer to this question.”

      I mean, she wasn’t *really* trying to name the kid that, in all fairness. Even if she was, fuck the state imposing rules on what you can name your own offspring.

    They’ve got him now

    Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI’s Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.

    Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal. Not long after he was charged, a virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg.

    The criminal information charges that Epps “did knowingly, and with intent to impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, engage in disorderly and disruptive conduct in and within such proximity to, a restricted building and grounds—that is, any posted, cordoned-off, and otherwise restricted area within the United States Capitol and its grounds, where the Vice President was and would be temporarily visiting—when and so that such conduct did in fact impede and disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business and official functions, and attempted and conspired to do so.”

    Most of the thousands who unlawfully gathered on the restricted grounds of the U.S. Capitol have not been charged unless they engaged in some sort of aggravating conduct, like attacking police or destroying property. Video shows that Epps attempted to deescalate tensions between the police and rioters, though he’s also shown with his hands on a giant Trump sign the rioters jammed into the police line. A federal judge acquitted another Jan. 6 participant who had his hand on that same sign, saying that his intent was unclear.

    Another scalp for the lodge pole. Now stop talking about him.

        Hopefully it plays out the same; judge says “now wait just one cotton pickin’ minute!”

    • Gustave Lytton

      Totally not a glowie.

    • Robonerfherder

      Well I’m convinced!

      Ray Epps is a low-down dirty insurrectionist and the government agrees with me!

    • Pat

      Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal.

      While the guy who wasn’t in D.C. on January 6th got 22 years in prison because somebody who might be part of his organization knocked over a fence. That’ll surely dispel all these nonsense conspiracy theories!

    • Sensei

      They will come after him for civil damages.

      It’s very common for couples to divorce after a conviction even if there is not an actual desire to break up.

    Here, deplorables, now shut up about your double standards!

    WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI’s Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.

    Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal. Not long after he was charged, a virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg.

    This totally means the 22 years people who weren’t even in DC on J6 got was totes legit.

    • Grumbletarian

      Well, shit.

  23. The Late P Brooks

    The unsupported notion that Epps was some sort of government agent who was inciting the mob to storm the Capitol has become widely accepted in right-wing circles, and even members of Congress have raised the Epps case during congressional hearings. Dominic Pezzola, a member of the Proud Boys who was sentenced to 10 years for his actions on Jan. 6, even invoked Epps’ name at trial.

    Just another American patriot whose life has been ruined by Trump.

      Nothing new there.

      But those programs are great. At my old gym there was a cleaning crew that was comprised of disabled kids and they were fantastic. Always happy and loved working.

      So of course let’s take that away from them.

    I just got back from some fun uncle Ev time with Dad and the three-year-old. After a fit, he was chilled out. He said to me we were gonna go to a park. He wanted to go to the creek.

    So we had much fun there. I wasn’t around for the others’ childhood, so I’m biased, but I see much Me in him. Others have said such. He’ll pretty much do anything and doesn’t seem to mind when things go awry. He swiftly recovers, rather.

    *Fingertips roll together in anticipation* This satisfies me. Group outpatient again tomorrow morning and they seem pretty cool. I got appropriate laughs when I went for them on point. Then therapy. Things are actually going well. This time feels more internally driven. A broken femur is good at slowing me down, to be taken advantage of here. Two weeks so far. And all happy and positive.

    • Sensei

      Agreed.

      Maybe we need a Blazing Saddles version.

      That’s a handsome feller

      Lol that was good

    I found a pile o’ bear scat in the field behind my house yesterday. I’m tryna find it again so I can take pics to see what’s xe has been eating.

    Difficult to tell from that photo how unbelievably wealthy her parents are.

    Kinda makes you wonder how far away the security detail is.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Totally different, you’re paying for that.

    • Robonerfherder

      The Brits do.

      And therefore our intelligence agencies do.

  27. Robonerfherder

    Damn I’m tired tonight.

    Can’t focus on work at all.

    • Mojeaux

      I had therapy today. Much tear-shedding was had and my eyes sting like hell and I still have to work tonight.

  28. Suthenboy

    Re Mojeaux’s nightmare:

    Had a nightmare myself last night, but I remember.
    I laid down to take a nap and when I awoke my house had been totally transformed. All of the beds had been moved to one room and the other furnishings removed. My mother was there (nightmare enough right there) and she explained to me that the CDC had ordered everyone to do that to their homes because cootie bug reasons, which were not explained. So…giving absurd commands just to see if people would comply.

    I went into a screaming tirade about how I didn’t give a fuck what those lying sacks of shit had to say. Afterwards I was warned of the dire consequences of not following orders which, of course, sent me into a complete rage and another more offensive rant.

    Then I woke up and turned on the news. Fuck….They are like gooey dogshit. The more you try to get away the more they spread around and stick to everything.

    Ex-South Park writer taking on Moms For Liberty

    When ex-South Park writer Toby Morton set out to lampoon Moms for Liberty with a parody website this summer, he expected to receive hate mail.

    On Morton’s MomsForLiberties.com, visitors are greeted with swastikas encircling the “parental rights” juggernaut’s logo, a leadership page that boasts Hercules actor turned conservative pundit Kevin Sorbo as their minivan driver, and a listing of items the moms have “banned for fun” including the board game Sorry. “Those who are taught to say ‘sorry’ are weak,” the fake site for the far-right group declares. “NEVER apologize for your actions because your actions are probably warranted if you’re white.”

    “I told myself that I never want to lose the original idea of why I started these websites, which was to make myself laugh and to troll people who deserve to be trolled,” said Morton, who has also crafted spoof sites for Republicans including Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, taking advantage of politicians who fail to snag all domains with their monikers.

    • Suthenboy

      Because the National Socialists were so pro-parental rights? What a fuckwit.

      Earlier my wife was in the back yard. I had been hammering away at some cement blocks I used for an outdoor shower foundation. I put them in so they would not move….I was successful. Now I want them moved.
      She picked up the hammer and started hitting one of the blocks. Ping! Ping! Ping! for about a minute. She is not large…98 lbs if she drinks a big glass of water, right at 5 feet tall. She set the hammer down. I jokingly said “It is just like arguing with a Democrat, isn’t it?”

      That got a good laugh out of her.

    It’s long sleeve t-shirt weather! 😍

      Yup.

      Shorts and quarter-zip season is my absolute favorite.

      Nighttime temps in the 40s or low 50s rocks my world.

    I’m sorry I don’t remember the module on my annual ethics training given by the Executive branch that says “you can expect to use some of your influence”.

    Burn us down, all of it.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Come to think of it…I’m going to flaunt my FAA status to gain whatever advantage as I can.
