The Oilers knocked off the Stars and will face Florida in the Stanley Cup Finals. Should be a good series. The Astros suck. Real Madrid did what Real Madrid does in UCL finals. And an Audi won the 24, errr 7, Hours of Nurburgring after fog ruined everything for the Manthey Porsche. And that’s it for sports.
Oh no! I guess the radical leftists will have to see what happens when moderates, by American standards, run a country in Europe for a change.
Mexico doubles down. I guess they’re ok with the corruption, cartel violence, and overall garbage situation. They just wanted a name change at the top.
I’m shocked! Who could have ever seen this coming? Oh yeah…anybody who was paying attention and/or cared, that’s who.
This case looks pretty simple. So I’m sure they’ll manage to fuck it up somehow.
This guy ought to be in a prison cell. Or under a prison. He lied under oath so many times and evaded FOIA requests so many times that instead he’ll probably end up with a statue somewhere.
That’s a lot of coin. I wonder if Merchan will say its a sign of insurrection and decide to throw him in jail.
Wait, they’re hosting MMA events? What a strange war they have going on there. Pride parades, MMA fights, and a “war for survival” being fought by conscripts dragged off the street. Strange, strange indeed.
What a sad state of affairs. I’m curious how the state determined that every deer on the property had the disease. Or was this a case of “better safe than sorry?” Either way, it’s sad.
Here’s a beauty of a song. Just smooth as silk. And here’s another. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday, dear friends.
Pimp/n ain’t easy, but it’s necessary..
And that’s why I am in my pink car chasing hos like Tom chased Jerry.
Badly, with them mocking you at every turn? I guess whatever floats your boat, man….
Winston’s Mom would tell you plenty of men pay good money for that.

What a strange war they have going on there
Haven’t clicked the link and I can’t decide if this is Israel or Ukraine.
Well I’ll be damned, both.
“Oh no! I guess the radical leftists will have to see what happens when moderates, by American standards, run a country in Europe for a change.”
Brussels is furious that the people of the countries they are fucking over with stupid shit and unlimited immigration from a cult that neither wants to assimilate nor live in peace with the current residents, are telling them no more….
How dare these freaking serfs object to the demands of their feudal masters?
The election hasn’t happened yet. Still time for them to fortify their positions.
They just got Geert Wilders in the Netherlands as well, after the Dutch said enough with this immigration of death cultists and campaign to stop farming to starve people, and from what I hear Brussels was ready to sick NATO on the Dutch for that.
From what I heard he’s just got the most votes, but doesn’t guarantee he’ll Even be part of the government… Sad;
They must act fast to save their Democracy. Maybe they could jail the opposition.
“I mean, these are Americans who are p*ssed off, said the younger Trump. “They’re coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe is getting bamboozled by a system.
“We saw it with Impeachment one, we saw it with Impeachment two, we see it where they weaponize every liberal DA and AG across the country with one intent: To take him down, to slander him, to ruin his reputation, to try and divide his family, to try and bankrupt him, to throw him in jail, to do whatever the hell they can do,” he added.
“America sees through it. They know exactly what’s going on.”
Well, half of America anyway. The other half cheers it on, because (a) Orange Man Bad, and (b) they never read the Iron Law “Me Today, You Tomorrow.”
The left is about power. Taking it and using it. Especially the “using it to show those they do despise that they are at the mercy of the left with power”.
Ha, and the right isn’t? The conservatives of classical liberalism are trapped in a two-front war.
Based on the observations of my lifetime? The right seems to be about getting power and dicking around with it. Because doing things is icky or something.
Then they moved to “why get power anyway? Easier to be a permanent opposition party and fleece those who actually believe in this shit.”
SDF-7: Yep. When I think of them I think of the jaded flamboyant Evangelists.
Any con artist will tell you if you pin them down – “My marks deserve what they get if they are stupid enough to buy my horseshit.”
And they never do seem to run out of the “Why’d you bring me to this trench, anyway?” crowd…. of course, they’ve been working hard to foster them for the last 30+ years so I shouldn’t be surprised. (“Listen to the experts! No need to think for yourself! Government will take care of you! Those political opponents want to hurt you! Your feelings are more important than their property! Comrade Napoleon will protect us — we just need to finish the windmill! Baaaaa!”)
Products of the public education system, where it is all about creating more widgets.
One could certainly argue that the handling of the trial and prosecution were intended to interfere in an election. Wasn’t there a New York law about that? (I know, I know… (D)ifferent…)
How unseemly!
International marxists, you know, the globalists, consider nationalism the root of all evil, because it gets in their way and stops their agenda of offing half of the earth’s population before turning the survivors into the serfs in a system where the credentialed elite/technocratic class rules them under feudalist rules.
It is not an accident Hitler and Nazi socialism and nationalism have been redefined as hard rightwing shit that is horribly evil, while the marxists and their death cults that have killed far more people – by a minimum of at least 3 to 1 compared to all the deaths in WWII – and have caused far more hardship to humanity, is now what they feed kids in western civilization as their best hope for a great future as part of their education curricula.
Half? You’re being overly generous today, Alex.
“That’s a lot of coin. I wonder if Merchan will say its a sign of insurrection and decide to throw him in jail.”
Team blue is sure saying it is because MAGA is a bunch of evil criminals…

run a country in Europe
Eh, the EU Parliament doesn’t exactly run any country – though it thinks it runs them all.
I guess the radical leftists will have to see what happens when moderates, by American standards, run a country in Europe for a change.
Same thing that happened over here when a 90s Democrat got elected back in ’16. The whole bureaucracy will resist, Brussels will fight tooth-and-nail against everything they try to accomplish, and he’ll get turfed out by any means necessary next election.
That’s why you fire every bureaucrat before each election and none are eligable for rehire.
Government shouldn’t be a career.
*continues looking for a real job*
“Government shouldn’t be a career.”
You just pissed off a lot of life’s losers by denying them this racket…
The irony is that the opposition is treating that 90s Democrat EXACTLY like the opposition treated another 90s Democrat.
The reason you don’t hear the Democrats saying anything at all about Bill is because 1) they don’t want to admit they are aping Gingrich and company; 2) the left that is more-or-less dominant in the contemporary party hates Bill almost as much as they hate Trump; and 3) the Republican obsession with Clinton was completely a partisan affair, whereas we now have the entire Federal apparatus at the beck and call of the DNC.
You and I remember the ’90s very, very differently apparently. The Clinton Impeachment was nowhere near the single minded malevolence directed at OMB from the beginning that I recall. (Honestly, to me this is just the culmination of what they’ve wanted to do to every Republican no matter how milquetoast… I remember well how much they hated Reagan, after all… they just have control of more levers of power and less shame now — there’s no “Newt showed them this path!” here.)
But whatever… I’ve got to go do actual work soon and there’s no way I feel like arguing this shit all morning.
In my opinion the Clinton impeachment was payback for the way the Dems treated Clarence Thomas. If what Thomas allegedly did was bad, then what Clinton did was bad too.
Clinton demonstrably lied under oath which was an actual crime that could be proven. Should we have, in retrospect maybe not, since it wasn’t about what the original investigation was about, but it was an actual, provable crime.
Jesus, you act like the Repubs were justified from day one. Yes, they finally found a charge that stuck – a legit one, unlike now. But they were pissed that Bill had stolen some of their political ground and they weren’t going to stand for that.
Such racism I can’t even.
And during Pride Month, no less.
Oh, that’s ok then. Gotta be super-specific on what’s being alleged, after all.
Can’t have the jury confused on an underlying crime. That absolutely can’t be allowed in a free country with a rule of law and all.
Pictured.
The asshats playing goalie to prevent people from finding out how corrupt our leadership class is went from the ludicrous and evil lie peddled by all these crooks that “It’s a Russian op to paint the Bidens in a negative light” to the Clinton defense that “It’s evil to show this poor guy’s dick picks, since this stuff is a private matter”, and they did all that without even a hint of irony.
That’s why the sequential Biden trials are going to be far worse for Joe than the glorious conviction of The Donald.
Putting Biden behind bars will not be as important as exposing the criminality of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, Eric Holder, James Clapper, Victoria Nuland, Valerie Jarret, and a host of other Obama crooks. Biden has always been their fall guy during Obama’s third term. And if these people end up making big rocks into small ones or printing license plates, that will be some justice.
And we do not need to wait to do this. Republican state AGs should be filing charges in every red district/municipality against this cabal. The democrats already set the precedent that this is the new way to go. And believe me, these democrats have enough crimes amongst them, that they will really be looking at jail time…
I wonder if the prosecutors will do a Brad Pitt from Sleepers show and fuck it up bad enough for the defense to win an acquittal. Or will the local jury end up being the ones who inexplicably let him off the hook?
Either way, I think it somehow ends with an acquittal or a pleading down to a lesser charge halfway through if things aren’t going well.
If they lined up a different judge they may just try a Mystery Magical Plea Bargain again.
They have tried that and failed. Benchslapped by the Third Circuit.
Yes but NY is 2nd Circuit, so they can ignore that.
Holy monetizing Gaia!
All that federal land should be listed for auction on a federal database for two weeks and sold off in 5 acre or smaller parcels to the highest bidder, with mineral rights attached.
The money raised can be used to retire some of the federal debt.
Be careful what you ask for…
They might give you this, then promptly after they have sold this land, bring in this wealth tax on property gains before you actually sell they are peddling as a means to rob the American people (and especially the enemies of the state) blind.
Fauci said he does not know where the six foot social distancing rule came from
*raises hand excitedly*
Ooooh oooooh, pick me!
According to my research abck in 2021, it came from ca. 2005 when the UN “public health” folks were laying out plans for what to do when SARS 2.0 happens.
And ‘lockdowns’ and ‘stay at home’ orders were from a 2006 science project. This was the Science! we must bow to. However, with all of it, it just reminds me of this
He’s just a kindly old man, you can’t expect him to remember frivolous details.
I remember that.
Day 1 – Doom is called. My reaction…I mean, I am not a virologist but I did have 9hrs of micro….”Hey, what the hell are they talking about? That’s not how that works. I smell a rat, a big one.”
Day…whatever – “Masks dont work. They just dont. We have known this for over 100 years. They dont fuckin’ work, period. Social distancing? 6 feet for the cooties that they claim you can get from someone on the other side of a grocery aisle? Really, what the fuck are these people on about? Now we have to close down schools, businesses, churches and the only people allowed to gather are leftist mobs?
Ooooooooh, I get it. This isn’t about the cooties at all. Am I having some kind of bizarre hallucination, or is this real?”
The mask thing just kills me. Dozens of randomized clinical trials BEFORE covid showed they don’t work for viruses, and more afterwards just confirmed it. And yet you would be branded “anti-science” and banned from social media if you said masks don’t work.
For me the WTF first movement was the combination of natural immunity won’t work and masks and arbitrary distance will save you that gave me the double take. And I had already had the Kung Flu Alpha version before this shit show happened (picked it up while traveling internationally, and infected my entire doctor’s office because my only symptom was an annoying hacking cough that was killing my throat).
Then I became certain this was all a charade, and an evil one, when saint Floyd from Minnesoda’s death suddenly inoculated all the rioters and looters from the Kung flu and the media did a 180 and told us social justice made all the screeching of the last few months about killing grandma moot.
Fatty Bolger:
I remember when we had to save the N95 masks for hospital workers, which at least made some sense. Then the mandated face coverings that everyone knew did nothing came along, and people happily put on crocheted masks or pieces of fabric,and thought it did something.
The only things masks did was make it hard to breathe and allow people to be petty dictators.
Bout summed up the time period.
“The only things masks did was make it hard to breathe and allow people to be petty dictators.”
It also allowed the team blue asshats to identify each other and know who to virtue signal harder at?
“natural immunity won’t work”
I still think Trump’s first plan was the best one, just let healthy people get it. That’s basically what Sweden did, with superior results compared to the rest of the world.
Sounds like y’all are some kind of conspiracy theorists. Probably believe the earth is flat, too.

Why should I read a substack written buy a guy who sticks his dick into toasters?

Also, the only way to positively diagnose CWD is an autopsy, so those live deer might have shown symptoms, but and may have even been infected, but there is no positive way to know for sure they were infected until they were dead.

Sounds like grounds for annulment, and prosecution for fraud.
Yes, oh mighty Sharia court judge, I was thinking I was getting poon, but instead I got dick…
And to give insult that dick is bigger than mine!
My judgements are less harsh than Sharia.
The ‘bride’ is probably going to be stoned or chucked off a roof if he goes before a Sharia court.
Yeesh, that’s a good way to get killed.
Meh. The guy is a moron for getting married before checking under the hood.
Good luck buddy.
Didn’t even need to do that.
Twelve days after their wedding, AK hunted for Adinda’s previous address after she reportedly refused to speak to his family and insisted on wearing her niqab at home.
That was when AK not only found out that Adinda’s parents were alive and well, but was told that his bride was actually a man.
He didn’t find out because his bride whipped it out. He found out because he finally decided to meet the parents, and they told him.
12 days after the wedding? Was there no consummation? I mean, did she tell him to go for the back pussy as Borat calls it, and he said, hey that works…
So what’s the over/under on Trump actually having to go to prison? I bet they’re stupid enough to do it. My money’s on whatever the max is for the charges but it’ll run concurrently, it’s why they set the sentencing for right before the convention. They hope the Reps will drop him.
Judge will defer sentencing until after appeals are exhausted or won. That will be his saving face move.
No, I think he’s a fanatic who wants to throw the defendant behind bars before the convention and during the election no matter the cost.
Eh, he had an excuse of jailing OMB for contempt but didn’t take it.
The judge will do whatever his Democrat handlers tell him to do. So the better question is, what do they think is the most strategically advantageous thing to do?
strategically advantageous My thoughts above is the most strategically sound move for Dems and the electoral votes of NY. It will take all the ads you know are being brewed up right now that will drop if the judge actually recommends prison time.
The Ads:
Alvin Bragg let these people go and judges have recommended light sentences or none at all for violent crimes yet pushed for x amount years for a paperwork error.
The strategically wise move would have been not to tear down or trash the little remaining credibility of every institution in pursuit of their big orange white whale.
But that didn’t happen so who knows.
I think Biden will pardon him in an attempt to boost his sagging poll numbers and set up a pardon for Hunter.
Can he though? He wasn’t charged with a federal crime.
The Obama people running the Biden admin can ask the governor of NY to do the pardoning for him, then steal the credit.
Note that I doubt they will do this. team blue’s tactic when things fail is never to withdraw, reassess, and find another strategy, but to double the fook down…
The Biden administration that sent their No. 3 prosecutor to help with the trial? That Biden administration is going to push for a pardon?
Aside from everything else, can you imagine how their base would react?
Pish tosh! You probably play chess in only three dimensions.
If the conviction looks to hurt him, Biden will pre-emptively pardon Trump for the “influencing a federal election” predicate/element/whatever the legal term is, then Hochie will do her part and use that as an excuse to annul the state conviction under the power of the NY Governor to do anything they want to as long as the legislature doesn’t object too loudly.
Biden is such a uniter! /TMITE
I don’t think they jail him (at least not now). I think they’ll go for some kind of house arrest, possibly with restrictions on access etc. to hamstring his campaign.
The backlash has been bad enough that they may go with deferred sentencing, though.
My ad would be “Donald Trump was convicted of interfering in the 2016 election by paying off a blackmailer after the election. How does that work?”
My only theory involves a Gallifreyan Stellar Engineer and some home grown capsules.
But yes — this is one of the (many) reasons I have to think the jury was either completely partisan, completely stupid… or both of course.
Ill even give them the benefit of the doubt that they deliberated studiously on the case that was very narrowly tailored to have only one outcome.
My ad would be “Donald Trump was convicted of interfering in the 2016 election by paying off a blackmailer after the election. How does that work?”
But he wasn’t was he? He was *convicted* of ‘fraudulently’ writing “legal services” on internal business documentation. Wasn’t the jury famously instructed to basically make up whatever underlying crime they felt like to justify the felony nature of the state charge?
I am betting it gets kicked upstairs far enough and quick enough to put a kibosh on the whole thing. Which will give the D’s a talking point in that SCOTUS stepped in, and the R’s can say the whole thing was BS.
Tonio and I have a dinner bet going on it. He believes Trump will get no jail time. I believe he will.

OT: Grocery store was playing christian rock yesterday. I think I would rather chew paper than listen to that.
The christian rock thing…they are always trying to go mainstream. Good luck. All they do is ape generic pop music and put their lyrics to it. Nothing at all interesting about it. Absolutely the more intolerant an ideology is for badthinkers the more it stifles imagination, innovation and creativity. Thus the endless cannibalizing of Hollywood’s former glory by the movie industry. Leftists cant make anything original any more than I can fly to the moon on an elephant’s back.
All they do is ape generic pop music and put their lyrics to it. Nothing at all interesting about it.
I concur. To be fair, though, a large portion of music of any era falls into “they ape XXXXX music and put their lyrics to it”. Even the more unique sounding bands were blends of the existing stuff. There’s only so much you can do with 2 guitars, a bass, drums, a keyboard, and 4 chords.
Listen to the wisdom of Hank Hill.
It’s funny, for millennia the greatest works of art were religiously inspired. Somewhere along the line this got watered down and overly preachy. So liberal media took over and spread their message and it was very effective. Now liberal media is making the same mistake as the Christian artists and being overly preachy. So who will be the next to pick up the mantle of producing good art.
IMO that’s a very 20th century “rebellious teenagers drive the culture” view of it. Christian art has been “preachy” since day one. The Sistine Chapel has Bible stories painted on it. David is _that_ David from the Bible. Notre Dame is a cathedral. The music was worship, the art was worship.
The idea that art has to be transgressive is very modern (or, more accurately, postmodern). The idea that it shouldn’t be preachy is very 20th century.
That is the most interesting question I will hear all day. Who indeed.
Yep, I’m no believer but I love me some old timey bluegrass gospel.

The only thing close to good “Christian” rock I know of is 16 Horsepower. David Eugene Edwards is very religious, but his music is more deeply questioning, and not at all praise oriented.
For Heavens Sake.

Republicans will always embarrass themselves:
Pride month off to a rough start. Because the United Methodist Church went woke, they just lost over a million members in Africa.
Good plan guys. Many of the UMC churches around here have already switched over to the conservative Global Methodist denomination.
The gays have the unitarian universalist church.
Too many people don’t accept them as christian for the left to be comfortable only skinsuiting them.
OTOH, I personally witnessed a gay pride flag in a UMC pastor’s office as early as 1998, so this has been a long time coming.
There was a babylon bee skit awhile back that was explaining the different denominations. For UU the line was “they are atheists.”
And the UCC!
My mother still goes to a UCC church and complains about only 30 people attending on Sunday to hear the weird lesbian pastor say weird things. There were 300 people there most Sundays when I was a kid.
She’s shocked at how many people attend our current church – that left the PCUSA 12 years ago when it started going woke.
She’s shocked at how many people attend our current church
My mom’s side of the family are decades-long diehard Democrats who happen to attend UMC churches. I’m sure they’d be surprised to see the renaissance happening in some more conservative churches while their hollowed out self-esteem camps continue to hemorrhage people and money.
You mean, people don’t want to wake up at 7am on Sunday just to get their pride fluffed and listen to a lecture on how great they are deep inside? They’d rather just sleep it? I’m shocked!
Ours has hired some flamboyant types. Wife is now going to Catholic church with me when I go.
The mainstream Protestant reunify should reunify with the CoE church, the Canadian Church, the CoScotland, and all the other denominations where the theological underpinnings have been replaced with respectability politics and become openly what they are — The Good Persons Club. They can call themselves the United True Christians. That way whenever those icky people quote those misunderstood/mistranslated/misused bible passages they can be instantly shot down by saying “True Christians know that the bible is completely supportive of $Current_thing”
The Devil can quote scripture for his own ends.
“True Christians(tm) know that verse is referring to Republicans misusing the Bible to oppress oppressed minorities.”
Said no True Christian, ever.
“I’m sorry, but you are misusing without authorization the registered trade mark of True Christianity International Inc, DBA The True Christian Church and True Christians LLC. Please immediately Cease and Desist or further legal action will become necessary.”
So you’ve removed your mask, demon.
Demons do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender or sexuality, unlike those evil Republicans!
Likewise, the splits in the Lutheran Church.
splitters!

Also, has anyone noticed the rainbow shit seems a bit less this year?
LOL – It’s like having a bacterial infection that gets attacked by a viral infection.
These assholes are worse than scarlett fever.
Well, Target had to drop 96% of their rainbow crap because nobody bought it and they couldn’t afford to keep losing money.
I suspect there’s a lot of similar untold stories in the same vein for other companies realizing that the signal they’re sending isn’t translating into anything good for the bottom line.
And the crazies have taken notice if I recall correctly on how these companies will put out on Twitter our other socials their pandering logo changes but not actually do anything with their company/sales/stores etc. This is where Target’s fatal flaw came about.
They pulled it from locations where it wasn’t selling. It’s still in stores where it sold, and available online.
from the actual numbers of what was left in stores – it wasn’t selling. It’s likely left on the online store because they haven’t officially thrown out the materials pulled and want to try to earn some of the sunk costs back.
Also, has anyone noticed the rainbow shit seems a bit less this year?
Yup. I just went on LinkedIn to do my weekly check for jobs and messages, and it was much less gay that last year.
June 1 was a Saturday. Linkedin will get gayer this week.
Maybe the inflation on the personal level and the Recession-that-isn’t-to-be-named on the corporate is doing the job of focusing people on what’s actually important?
The war has been won. VE/VJ Days were less of a deal in 1946.

So… GirlBoss? Tired of being a strong, independent woman who don’t need no man, but having trouble finding that 6’5″, in finance, with a trust fund guy? Look to TikTok!
Drawing in part from her experience as a hostess at SoHo House, matchmaker Tiff Baira rose to prominence during the pandemic for making videos about where to find a sugar daddy in the city. Mimi Shou built a platform on TikTok by sharing stories of her New York dating adventures and pursuit of finance bros. “NYC Luxury Dating Coach” May Kalinu’s schtick is helping women of color marry into “old-money” families to create generational wealth for their children. Kalinu, who is 27 and lives with her tech fiancé in Gramercy Park, tells me that men paying for most expenses helps balance out the “extra things that women go through in society, like the pink tax for razors.”
It’s hilarious and depressing at the same time.
“Miss, you’re not worth the hassle. Waiter, we’re having split checks.”

They identified the criminal who shot and killed a cop in Minneapolis last week. We know a lot about him except for his immigration status.
Cancer is such asshoe.
It doesn’t even inflict its suffering and death on those that deserve it.

Odds that she knew about it and didn’t say anything before the primary this year? I’d say 80%.
Pancreatic Cancer has a low survival rate compared to other cancers.
You can’t make this shit up.
Putting aside the stupidity of pride flags in schools, it is amazing how much time and effort the crazy people have put into their own personal pride flags.
Do we really need both a Intersex Pride Flag AND a Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag?
Do we really need both a Intersex Pride Flag AND a Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag?
When one has their entire self-worth wrapped up in being seen as special in the eyes of the culture, yes, yes they do need them.
I’m glad I’m old, I can’t keep up with the current things I’m not going to like
Narcissist says yes.
Do you even tumblr bor?
What kills me is that burning the American flag is – correctly so – a constitutionally protected form of free speech, but burning a pride flag is a hate crime… Da Fuq?
It’s guilty white liberal hetero virtue signaling all the way down.
The kids would not take any of this seriously absent the brainwashing.
The interesting part of the story that isn’t mentioned is that St. Louis Park is full of Somali parents who are going to sue over the LGBTQ+ nonsense.
My guess is that the “parents” in the original story are Somalis, but no one wants to mention that fact because it wrecks the narrative when two Dem constituencies disagree.
For years prior to tumblr banning porn, desperate-to-be-special kiddies spent their time inventing genders and sexualities (which they also called genders). Each gender had to have a flag created for it (which they’re all stripes in various colors of whatever was available in MS paint at the time).
Public school teachers are literally teaching the brains dropping of teen/tween gooners as Truth.
I remember that. Afaik, the rainbow flag predates the internet. And trans flag isn’t from tumblr. It was made by an alleged pdf file, which is why it is pink and baby blue.
Yes the OG Pride flag was original (or at least as original as “rainbow stripes” can be.)
Hence all of the genderspecials’ knockoffs of it.
I applaud the humor (bit of faith) in reality.The ledge Zerohedge link above w Merchan joke:
(I tried to kick my objection to this not being a sentence. I sucked it up and let it lie. (That should be a daily habit.))
Damn auto-fuck.

Were they not state supported they’d already be extinct.
Not digging in, but that seems semi-similar to America and is almost assuredly a huge positive.
Decentralized religions and means for moral, psychological, emotional and social networks? Yes, please. Well. We’re I religious, I’d certainly be looking for ones in my socio-demographic. One thing leads to another, I hear.
Do they have traditional Anglican churches in England? The Anglican Province of America churches here seem to be growing while the Episcopalian churches are dying.
Color me impressed! If I had thought about it before seeing your link, I wouldn’t have guessed that the Medeans had even one church, much less several of them with 30 people. After the Medes civilization was crushed in 550 BC, you would think they’d have a hard time filling churches anywhere much less the UK.
I just heard Eric Trump on radio. He actually said “Black voters are swinging to Trump in spades.” Cue the outrage.
LOL
So how many people here know judge Juan Merchan is a Columbian immigrant whose dad was a military officer and then worked for the secret services as a liaison for the CIA? Not that that would explain why they kept picking this guy – supposedly randomly – to preside over this crap trial to help the intel machine undermine the will of the people?
Are you implying Hunter arranged with the CIA a set of Columbian Marching orders?
CRACKY!!!!!
Don’t be surprised that they shut down the “investigation”/trial” for Hunter, because the CIA comes out and claims he was/is an agent for them, and that all the criminality is gone because, well because…
It’s not even 11am?
Today is just dragging along.
Things that made my weekend shittier:
I wore my newest pair of glasses to the match, took them off in favor of my shooting glasses and left them on the car dashboard.
Apparently modern eyeglass coatings are not heat resistant, because they have an orangepeel effect which renders them unusable. I’mma see if I can get these warranteed, but I’m expecting them to claim it’s my fault for leaving glasses in the car.
What sort of coating did you have on the lenses?
Don’t remember, antireflection and antiscratch probably. I guess I should have also gotten antimelt.
Good to know, those are my standard two on my polycarbonate lenses.
I’ll have to not leave any glasses in my car.
*I mean, I figure those are the common ones and you’d remember if you had Transitions lenses or something like that.
Unless they explicitly warned you, I’d push very hard for it.
FWIW, I recommend these people for online shopping: https://www.glassesusa.com/

Ford’s latest project out of the Motor City is the restoration and reopening of an abandoned train station, for decades a symbol of Detroit’s downfall and now the automaker’s new technology campus.
The $950 million project encompasses the 18-story former train station called Michigan Central Station – once the state’s marquee transit building – an adjacent 270,000-square-foot building and other, supporting facilities.
——-
Bill Ford decided to purchase the dilapidated building after years of trips to Silicon Valley for his Fontinalis venture capital firm and during his tenure as a member of the eBay
board of directors. He’s long been outspoken about the need for the traditional automotive industry to compete with newer tech companies in both product and talent acquisition.
A restored train station will be our ticket to the future. Another vanity project for Billy.
I don’t know, I’m not mad that a beautiful old building has been restored.
Why was there a skyscraper for a train station?
Office building. Pretty common way for railroads to build a magnificent structure ; used to be prestigious address for businesses.

Didn’t read the article. Just wanted to take in the featured image at the start of the article.
You know who else…
When you have zero policy successes to run on, all that is left is the usual leftist bullshit to scare minorities and idiots.
As one measure of Ford’s determination, officials traced the facility’s original limestone to a quarry in Indiana only to find out it had since closed. Michigan Central worked with the owners to reopen the quarry.

Muh equity!
The typical compensation package for chief executives who run companies in the S&P 500 jumped nearly 13% last year, easily surpassing the gains for workers at a time when inflation was putting considerable pressure on Americans’ budgets.
The median pay package for CEOs rose to $16.3 million, up 12.6%, according to data analyzed for The Associated Press by Equilar. Meanwhile, wages and benefits netted by private-sector workers rose 4.1% through 2023. At half the companies in this year’s pay survey, it would take the worker at the middle of the company’s pay scale almost 200 years to make what their CEO did.
How about this: bigger companies times incremental return per employee equals more pay for CEO.
CEOs have to be savvy, forward-looking, and willing to maintain a grueling work schedule. They *earn* that pay:

“Anyone can be a CEO, just like anyone can play golf like Scottie Scheffler or hit a baseball like Otani. It isn’t fair they get that compensation and I don’t.”

Kept getting server errors when I asked how such an unserious person got picked.
The Mises Caucus only had around 45% of the votes, and Rectenwald gave a poor speech after allegedly taking an edible.
Is that supposed to be a dig against the orange guy where his military leadership lied to him about troop strengths & locations, and various levels were willfully insubordinate?
After World War II and up until the 1980s, CEOs of large publicly traded companies made about 40 to 50 times the average worker’s pay, said Brandon Rees, deputy director of corporations and capital markets for the AFL-CIO, which runs an Executive Paywatch website that tracks CEO pay.
Greedflation!
Now do union dues percentages and union leadership compensation. I’ll wait.
“Commanders release Brandon McManus amid sexual assault allegations
McManus was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed against him and the Jaguars after he allegedly attempted to grind against the women during Jacksonville’s flight to London on Sept. 28 last season.
The suit was filed last month in Duval County Circuit Civil Court, and the two women alleged they suffered “severe mental anguish, anxiety, psychological and emotional distress, embarrassment and humiliation,” and are reportedly suing for more than $1 million in damages.”

Maybe the NFL and every other business should wait for cases to be settled before firing people.
“Shocking video has emerged of an NYC Parks employee holding a young girl in handcuffs after she allegedly was selling fruit from an unlicensed cart in lower Manhattan with her family.”

OFFS!
They should’ve prosecuted Trump for having people sell lemonade without a license in the first episode of “The Apprentice”.
At one point, I would have called out the cop for being an asshole. Looking at the video, I’m going to guess that the girl and her family are not US citizens and my supply of fucks to give about them is completely empty.
Maybe what we need are more videos of illegal aliens getting roughed up by cops on popular social media platforms. Let the word get out.
I couldn’t care less about her paperwork. It was a girl selling fruit.
