I spent some time away with my family last week. Nice to be back. We went on a tour of the national parks in Washington state. Nice weather and all. This did include a short trip to Seattle where we did see a few of the tourist attractions around the Space Needle. While it was always on my bucket list to take a piss off the Space Needle, I settled for spitting. Relax it was windy; it probably dissipated on the way down.
The best story from Seattle was the enormous chessboard in one of the parks near the stadiums. I played a few games with my sons when a homeless guy called for the winner. I at first was hesitant to okay with a fentanyl postured rando that was clearly high when he asked but my wife said, “cmon he wants to play.” 🙄
Anyways. It was bad enough he was pretty good but in the end he resigned, blaming “really good weed” for kicking in at a bad time.

Border arrests down by 29% for the month of June which implies they were actually making arrests.
How did the border affect the Tohono-O’odham reservation? Well shit, lets think about this CNN. The border runs through the reservation, both countries “recognize” their “sovereignty” and tribal members can cross between countries at will via fences with literal open gates with no real way to determine who is part of the tribe? Nobody would exploit that at all.

Did 11.5 million migrants cross since Brandon took office? Fact Check: No, it is probably closer to 8 million. Fact check: Ted Cruz is a dirty, fucking liar because he might be conflating “migrant” with ”migrant encounters”. Fact check: Newsweek is just speculating now but Cruz might be counting migrants that went over multiple times, as if this actually makes him wrong about the severity if the situation or the distinction makes the situation seem any more ideal, in any sense of the word. Fact check…
The El Presidenté Dudebro regime was accused of arresting, sentencing, and torturing children according to a Human Rights Watch report. AP didn’t link the report at all, Al Jazeera sort of did, and HRW finally linked their own report. At this point I’m just going to link the report here without reading it because if I have to go this far to find it, its probably bullshit.
SERENITY NOW! Have a great Tuesday Wednesday.
Trump needs to start his next rally with a, “Friends, Americans, countrymen, lend me your ear.”

“Without the gods, man is nothing. -Poseidon”
Does Chaac even lift? Poseidon is swole as fuck.
Every Greek gods middle name is biggus dickus
“Critics of the statue cite a series of recent storms in and around the Gulf — Tropical Storm Alberto in June and Beryl — as proof that Chaac, a fanged, hook-nose deity who isn’t quite as Instagram-friendly as Poseidon, is angry.”
We live in the stupidest timeline.
Which Chaac? there were up to four at times.
Whom the God’s destroy,
First they make mad,
/ you mad Mayans?
But what an adventure it would have been if they kept it there…. instead their world turned upside down.
“Did 11.5 million migrants cross since Brandon took office?”
It’s an unknowable number.
Honestly at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant portion of the Indian Subcontinent had moved over. Because why the hell not?
There’s only so many hotel and quickie marts in the U.S.?
An uncountable finity?
It’s an unknowable number.
I believe this is the truth.
almost everything I have seen in the last five years has shown something like 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants reside in the US
the story goes that some fraction of them stay; some go back and forth
both things are not true: a net influx of over a million a year for decades AND only 10M resident
nifty chart from Pew
Fact check: Newsweek is just speculating
Margin of error, plus or minus 96%.
If you’re a cop and someone points a rifle at you, why would you not draw your firearm after ducking back down behind the building/cover, then pop up and engage? Why would you retreat down the ladder when rifle holder could walk over and plug you as you’re descending?
What did he know when he went up the ladder?
There is a report of someone suspicious on the roof . . . .
There is a report of someone with a rifle on the roof . . . .
At least one of the people interviewed on camera said they were screaming that there was a man with a rifle on the roof.
The very unkind part of me thinks: “Because you’re pissing your pants and want to find somewhere to hide?”
Maybe there’s protocol (the more kind part of me thinks), I don’t know… but I’d at a minimum expect a radio call of “Active shooter!” or something and the sniper team that was watching him to ask him to tea and scones to do something before the kid could swivel back and set up his shot.
Granted, never been in that environment or scenario…
I would be pretty terrified of popping my very inviting head as a target when the armed suspect had already starting aiming at me. I’m also going to guess the ladder he was on was not the most secure one. I’m not going to judge him too poorly for not popping up and trying to shoot him. Hell, I’ll give him some credit for not blind firing over the ledge.
Story is getting clearer.
“I want to tell you about my officer. He was not climbing a ladder. He was not in a position to engage the suspect at all,” he said, explaining that there was an officer on the ground hoisting him up with cupped hands so he could investigate what was happening on the roof.
Local smoky was assigned traffic control and actually took it upon himself, or with a fellow officer, to do some investigating.
Where is that Spiderman meme of pointing at each other when you need it.
Then, I’d give him pass.
That makes more sense.
That’s just what they want us to believe! It adds more mud to the murky water!
Also said they reported the gunman on the radio to all agencies.
Still nobody pulled Trump offstage.
This story stinks more every minute that goes by. We are being lied to.
I will just say that I wasn’t there, I wasn’t the guy and I dont really buy anything I am hearing about it so I should not speculate.
Come on! We must apply out superpowers of what we’d do when faced down the barrel of a rifle!
You can’t be this sensible in a time of crisis.
Ever held tools on a vertical ladder? I can but it isn’t easy and I have done it for almost 40 years,
Ffs
I’ll add, a bolted to the building straight up and down, you have to pay attention or you will fall. A cop doesn’t nor need to know these things, a radio? Yes, local cops and ladders? GTFO
Yes. I’ve climbed with both tools and LCE.
I am a leaf on the wind…
Only 8 million migrant encounters, and we know (without evidence) that ICE has encountered every single person who crossed the border. If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge across the border to sell you.
Nice try. That bridge belongs to a bunch of NGOs and there’s no way they’d sell it. It’s their meal ticket.

Vance’s pro-worker credentials are likely to come under renewed scrutiny before November, especially from Democrats and progressives who see his populism as a rhetorical mask for a traditionally corporate-friendly conservative agenda. Despite claiming the moniker of “pro-worker conservative,” for instance, Vance opposes the PRO Act, organized labor’s biggest legislative push.
He doesn’t really care about the workers. You can tell because he isn’t in the pocket of the union bosses.
I mean..there is such a thing. Hell, they might even encounter them in the wild if they ever step outside of the city and do that weird thing that some call “talking” to others
Noted Anti labor guy Mike Rowe is against it too.
The YouTube podcast he did on it is below. About an hour long.

But looking on the bright side the Union elections will be more secure than ever.
“The PRO Act would alter union election rules.For example, it would allow unions to hold elections through mail ballots or electronic ballots.”
The Union I was forced to join does ballots through a double-envelope mail-in system. They get mailed to the American Arbitration Association, who extracts the secret ballot envelopes from the member-identifable envelopes, then opens and counts the ballots in a location announced and open to observation by any member. It is rare for a president to get a third term.
The other big union counts its own ballots in secret. It’s rare for officers to change.
These are not votes on whether or not to unionize. These are periodic elections.

“By examining medical records of nearly 3million infants, researchers found those born with cytomegalovirus (CMV) were two-and-a-half times more likely to be diagnosed with autism in their lives than children without CMV. ”

“A Missouri clinic that pressured parents into letting their kids undergo risky sex change procedures has shuttered in what officials hail as a ‘huge win’ for child safety in the state.
The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital shuttered last week, following an outcry over claims that doctors there pushed puberty blockers and other procedures on minors.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Tuesday said the clinic had ‘mutilated’ too many kids and that its closure was a ‘major step’ toward halting controversial sex change procedures.
‘I want Missouri to be the safest state in the nation for children,’ said the dad-of-four.
‘The closure of any clinic that has mutilated children is a major step towards that goal. I will not stop until the clandestine network of clinics mutilating children is permanently dismantled, and bad actors are held accountable.'”

Assistant unifier
Vice President Kamala Harris in a short video released early Wednesday said former President Donald Trump’s new running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, will act as a “rubber stamp” for Trump and his “extreme” agenda.
“Donald Trump has picked his new running mate: J.D. Vance. Trump looked for someone he knew would be a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda,” Harris said in the video. “Make no mistake: J.D. Vance will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country.”
——-
“And if elected, he will help implement the extreme Project 2025 plan for a second Trump term, which would target critical programs like Head Start and Medicare,” Harris said.
She added, “But we are not going to let that happen.”
That sounds like a violent threat.
VPs are supposed to fight the President tooth-and-nail? Kamala isn’t a “rubber stamp” for Biden?
The VP is supposed to approve the President’s decisions? Maybe that’s how it works with Biden.
They are still on about the 2025 thing, the one Trump says he knows nothing about…the thing that isn’t his platform, a platform published for all to see?
Loyal to Trump and not the country. Rich coming from her. All projection, all of the time.
2025 is pretty conservative, that’s why the lefty freak out,
You know, rule of law, basic truth and maybe a bit of wisdom.
It’s not perfect but it’s nice. I like most of what I read so far. It’s from Heritage Foundation which is not aligned with Trump, and Trump is right in saying it’s not his document.
So who does Vance relate to in regards to Hitler reincarnated. Goebbels? Bormann?
Mussolini, obs – the ‘D’ in J.D. stands for ‘Duce’! (no matter what other lies you have been told).
So he’s related to John Wayne?
Cool!
Obviously Hitler’s beard, Eva.
What role does the VP have in crafting legislation?
Constitutionally? Or in a practical sense?
None of the pols crafts legislation. They raise money and bloviate. Their staffs craft the legislation with help from lobbyists.
Anyone can craft legislation, you just need a sponsor to introduce it into the House.
Close Tundra, the lobbyists craft the legislation with no help involved. The legislators collect their “stock tips”. Their young, supple staff is enthusiastically offered up to get sodomized in one of the meeting rooms adjoining congress to seal the deal.
Yep. The unifying and turning down the rhetoric lasted all of 3 days.
“Extreme agenda”. “Loyal only to Trump, not the country.”
Boy, that “turn down the heat” thing didn’t last long, did it?
They simply don’t know how, and even if they did, it’s the only thing they have.
I mentioned on Zoom that my SIL, who is from Argentina and very well in the Peronist circles (along with telling me once she’d make AOC blush with her policies) is seeing the Libertarian light with Milei.
She is a nationalist in the sense she loves her country. Wants to see it and her people prosper and his policies are showing her that they can on the path they are on.
On another note, my brother who is…I guess a Bernie Bro..took on his first build in NH. He is enjoying the lack of red-tape and has a small realization that government doesn’t always need to be up in his business.
Baby-steps…

Kamala isn’t a “rubber stamp” for Biden?
It’s not “rubber stamping” when your ideas overlap perfectly because they are correct and true.
Thanks for the lynx, Señor. I’m glad you had a good trip. We did that same one a couple summers ago. Some amazing hiking and the Cascades are so damn beautiful.
Did 11.5 million migrants cross since Brandon took office? Fact Check: No, it is probably closer to 8 million.
Does it really matter? Either one is a big problem.
At least an American took a shot at the prez and not an illegal immigrant.

If the delegates at the Republican convention rose up en masse and mutinied against Trump, and then nominated Liz Cheney to be their candidate, the Democrats’ drumbeat of “Enemy of the State and All that is Holy” would continue seamlessly.

He was going to bind up all the women!
Authorities from a number of jurisdictions were on the ground Saturday, and officials are still determining how the building was guarded — and how the 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, reached the roof. But the warning from local law enforcement of insufficient manpower adds to questions about whether there was adequate security for the high-stakes presidential campaign visit.
Obviously, the only thing to do is make Trump curtail his campaign appearances.
I notice that they never mention the assets for Dr. Jill’s concurrent visit.
“officials are still determining how the building was guarded”
That it is taking days of investigation to figure this out tells you all you need to know about how fucked up it was.

My Kindle shows ads for books when it’s “sleeping.” For the last couple days I’ve seen a trend in nominal self help titles, where the pictured cover has the title in readable English, but the small text is gibberish. The gibberish is largely in Latin alphabet characters, but sometimes not. It looks like the text equivalent of an AI generated portrait where the subject has seven fingers all pointing the wrong direction. It makes me wonder if the entire book is AI generated.
“Raising Resilient Kids”
“Strategies For Building Confidence and Emotional Strength”
“A Berp*rslmaly Strk Pardllings”

This is why I bought a 1962 John Deere 2010 tractor. Its why all the farmers are buying older tractors and driving the prices up.
The first article I saw about this was probably five years ago. “Prices for older equipment skyrocketing at auctions.”
Maybe that’s why Deere is laying off hundreds of people in the midwest
Deere & Co. is laying off nearly 600 workers as the farm equipment manufacturer deals with declining demand.
Deere confirmed Monday that the production positions being cut are concentrated at two factories in Iowa and one at its home base in Moline, Illinois, where 280 employees will be laid off effective Aug. 30. A combined 310 workers will be let go at the Iowa locations.
This was it for me.

Have they got Kamala locked in the basement?
Her numbers aren’t good. They’ll probably just change the locks and disable her email.
“We fixed the problem… Now, tell me, what exactly do you do around here?”
They are currently, however, better than Trump’s and within at least possible range of victory.
The legal machinations of getting an entirely new candidate from elsewhere would be quite difficult and there would be change ballot fights in a great many states.
Sorry, I mean Biden’s numbers vs Trump’s
Kamala is, realistically, the only other possible candidate. The issue she really has is that her numbers go up when she isn’t talking or in front of people.
There are photos of him like an hour before randomly shaking hands at a restaurant UNMASKED. Clearly the antichrist.
Is that the same doctor who told us he was fit as a fiddle, vigorous, sharp as a tack, nothing wrong with Joe, nosiree?

My Twix followers are all over the place politically. About half of them are writers or artists, so, you know.
The screeching about Trump winning is over the top for a bunch of people WHO HAVE ALREADY LIVED UNDER A TRUMP rEgImE. “I need to get out of this country, but other people aren’t accepting immigrants who can’t bring business with them. I’d be a drain on their resources.”
The lack of self-awareness is breathtaking.
They just don’t want to relive the horrors, Mo.
Especially after the last few years of sheer joy and prosperity.
I bet plenty of countries would accept them and their meager resources that’d still be above average there. Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, The Central African Republic, Yemen…they’d love to have a few more artists.
Not Venezuela?
I’ve never been a yuge Trump fan but the absolute best thing about his presidency was the hysteria from Dems. Man, that shit sustains me.
“The El Presidenté Dudebro regime was accused of arresting, sentencing, and torturing children”
A quick scan showed they mentioned two 17 year olds and a 16 year old. No mention was made of any other ages.
Now, I have no doubt there are due process violations galore, but that’s some pretty tendentious shit – people that age are routinely tried and sentenced as adults in the US if what they are accused of is bad enough.
So, gang members.
Odds are, yeah. But the kind of sweeps they have been doing and their minimalist due process, there’s gotta be some in there who aren’t.
“I need to get out of this country, but other people aren’t accepting immigrants who can’t bring business with them. I’d be a drain on their resources.”
*guffaws, slaps knee*
If she ends up the nominee she will have to debate Trump, which will be historic. You know, historic tomorrow which is the future for us today like today was the future for us yesterday…to us.
Ok, this is pretty funny.
Although I sure would like to see Kammy squre off against the Hillbilly.
Damn.
So you don’t have to give them the clicks.
What’s hilarious is that Newsom just shafted his chances for the next couple of cycles (outside CA) – according to the California Policy Center guys I listen to – by signing the law that forces schools to lie to parents about their kids.
Not that it’ll hold up in court, but it’s the final straw as far as Newsom having any appeal outside his state.
From what I understand, I don’t think it forces them to lie, I think it prevents them from being forced to tell the truth.
Newsom didn’t shaft shit. He’s very popular in California and the media would fucking swoon over him. His hair is the most presidential in 40 years next to Romney. The media would flip the “age is a problem” script overnight and everyone will follow along.
Also, take a look at the electoral map and tell me what states going for Biden would flip to Trump over Newsom.

Maybe it’s best not to get too cocky. The USSS could easily make another “mistake” before the election. Sloped roofs are everywhere.
Apparently ‘dont believe your lying bank statements’ doesnt work on some people. Newsome can keep flapping his jaws until they fall off, the businesses are still gone.
According to Newsom, Musk is “bending the knee” to Trump by moving Xwixxer and SpaceX to Texas in response to stupid California laws.
Could Newsom be any more of a slimy douchebag?
Yes. Just wait.
Yes. He can.
Thus begins the death vigil
“The White House will provide regular updates on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation,” she said.
Biden boarded Air Force One in Las Vegas around 6:30 p.m. ET, the White House pool reported. The president was not wearing a mask as he boarded the plane.

Poor SF, he writes 3 days straight and now this. I imagine he’s having Hunter S. Thompson days full of binge drinking and coke.
Turns out the cop who saw the Trump shooter did actually use the blanket tactical radio channel to let any and all know about the shooter, as soon as he hit the ground.
Link please!
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cops-radioed-blanket-tactical-channel-about-shooter-after-rooftop-confrontation-yet
The more I learn, the harder I find it to believe this is negligence. That guy was allowed to get rounds off.
Other reports have said he fired immediately after the keystone cop dropped off the roof ledge. So the radio call might be when that sniper reorients.
Right, the sniper reorients because a radio call reports a hostile on the roof, then they stare at him in the sights for 42 seconds and don’t fire back until he’s squeezed off 6 or 7 rounds. It makes so much goddamn sense.
I agree with you. It makes absolutely no sense.
And since every non-regime expert is saying the same thing, I’m pretty sure this is malicious incompetence.
My going theory is that they’ve been specifically instructed to leave a gaping security hole at events and ignore any asshole who exploits it until it’s too late. I can’t make sense of why the deep state would choose this kid specifically.
The report earlier today that the dad told the cops that he thought the kid was at the shooting range has me asking a bunch more questions. Sounds like his dad was a gun enthusiast (strange for a “therapist” type), so he doesn’t need to have been given the weapon by an FBI agent pulling the Steve Buschemi “hey there fellow angsty revolutionaries” meme.
I see there is no scheduled 7pm post. I dropped in a bunch of stuff yesterday if someone wants to put it in that spot.
It’s a late night party. This post will be begging for sweet relief at 07:00 CST tomorrow morning.
I just put one in too. Feel free to use it whenever, as always, although I can make no promises about my first block editor post.
I submitted a post weeks ago – another prepping excerpt – not sure when it’s scheduled.
I got tired of proofreading my FreedomFest write-up. So I hit submit. You get what you paid for.
Trolling Neph:
“But for now, all eyes are on Milwaukee. And in newsrooms everywhere the debate is about whether it should be “J.D.” or “JD” — with or without the periods. Vance’s bestselling book cover lists his name as “J.D.,” but the senator’s social media pages list it both ways. Puck News asked the senator himself today and was told that he likes it as “JD” without the periods. But old habits are hard to break, so until I see how it’s written on the White House website, I’ll stick with “J.D.”
It stands for John David or something like that so, it should have periods.
Meh, he goes by it as his moniker. In that case, I think it can go either way.
Okay, RJ
I have a coworker who uses their initials, but with a slash, like J/D Vance. I haven’t seen that before and have no idea what it’s supposed to signify.
I will respect however he chooses to identify.
J sub D
I was waiting for that one.
So our esteemed president Konstantine Chernenko has a cold now. I’m sure he’ll get better any day now.
I think it is B.S. He don’t got no COVID. It’s an excuse to shuffle him out.
Great minds R.J
Leave the poor man alone, between the soon to be long covid diagnosis andd the extra 25 million that’ll soon go into an offshore account somewhere he’s got a lot on his plate.
Given the statement earlier that if a doc says he should step down…this is quite…fortuitous
Quite the coincidence, to be sure.
WE HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIRST
Night post has covid, too?
It too is dropping out of the race
*cackles*
Heard on Xwitter today: The RNC sure has changed. They’ve got porn stars with face tattoos, and guys who just got out of prison. If anything, it sure is entertaining.
My thoughts…
RNC: let’s actually be a big tent
Talking heads explode when they do it
Weirdly, it became even more of Trumpolini’s party after he lost the election.
He’s a 90s Democrat.
Yup. I’ve always said he’s basically Bill Clinton with a bad haircut. Policywise, you couldn’t slide a piece of paper between them. And with da wimmins? Although he definitely outplayed Bill on the wife front.
Although he definitely outplayed Bill on the wife front.
Low bar.
Where’s that bitch ass seconder MikeS?
If MikeS were here right now, I’d First his ass all the way from the Dakotas to Alaska.
Kimberly Guilfoyle is kind of nasty.
Did you come to that realization before or after you realized she’s Gavin Newsom’s ex-wife?

You didn’t get your tattoo yet?
The wife offered to give me one if I kept kibbitzing and avoided folding the laundry.
Not yet it is going right next to my Pepe the Frog and Can I haz Cheezburger ink.
They’re gonna get an e-mail from Trump’s Russian Lawyer, just like I did. Make America Great Again is trade marked. Hence why the merch available on Redbubble (or is it on Cafepress?) features the fake Hat.
Should be “Make America Gyrate Again.”
Or “Grate”
Or just MAGOAT
Or Gender Traitor’s suggestion.
Look at all this excellent advice you get tonight!
I figure Firsay newsdump Biden out for reelection…finish his term or close to it and Kamla is the nominee
Or Friday. Whichever
Cannot see how he goes forward. Even The Doctor cannot salvage this.

I don’t even want the sack of shit to drop out. Let him stay in and embarrass himself. Make the cheating they do in November even more painfully obvious than it was 2020.
Like Razorfist’s joke in his latest video…81 million votes. Yea, yea, I believe that one.
He was more popular than Obama.
They can’t. He set the scene…he let loose the plot…now they have to have the climax.
“Was” is an apt verb

Public Service Announcement: For every one of these ladies, there is some dude that has had it with her bullshit.
Thank you every one of those sweet asses
I love you, Q.
That…is nice
I like tonight’s theme.
Q: see Forum post about Denver/Front Range meet up next month. If you can’t get into the forums, I think you have my e-mail.
Did you ask The Bro if he wants to meet up?
Nice touch by RNC putting up a WW2 vet at 90+ years old that sounds near like our current president. Shitty but effective.
100+ and he sounded better than Joe, for the few seconds I caught surfing.
Granddaughter was a bad choice but understandable on why.
DJT Jr is probably gonna run in future
Trump tough…lol when you actually watch the RNC convention it’s quite funny.
Tie in to Teddy assassination attempt. It’s like going to a non-demominational church.
Just me and whahappen on zooms if anyone wants to join.
Mayyyybe
No soup for you tonight.
Interestingly…RNC has made sure to only get Trump’s left side on camera (or he only has give it). Smart politics to not highlight the bandage (or…it never happened!)
I am sure JD Vance has eyeliner on.
Mom mothing “thats my boy”…RNC really nailed this one. JD is an awe-shucks candidate.
Let’s hope for KISS makeup next time.
I golf with a lot guys his age, they aren’t idiots, far from it, give the man a look
Will Biden pulling out improve the Dem’s chances, I wonder? I had lunch today with a registered Republican who can’t stand Trump because her grandson is handicapped and Trump appallingly mocked a handicapped reporter eight years ago. Nor does she think Biden can serve, as her elderly boyfriend has Parkinson’s and she knows the debilitating nature of that disease. So, she will probably sit it out if Trump and Biden are the two choices. But if Biden is replaced…… (Her twin sister posted a photo on her own Facebook page with her arm around Newsom during a recent campaign visit.)
For financial reasons, I think the Dems are stuck with Kamala if Joe bows out. She is as weak a candidate as Joe.
Meanwhile Elon pumps in 45 million a month….
a registered Republican
Registered huh? Just like Crooks.
I’m a pureblood, no never took the jab, what happens when you do?
“White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. “He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time.
Oh, more Covid? Haha
Going to Delaware to isolate… instead of the white house that has medical staff and equipment, staff to allow him to “work”….
Not as unbelievable as the dangerous sloped roof excuse, but pretty unbelievable
Covid was so 2020
Wow. Something happened.
Every network suddenly killing Biden. Not just talking about folks calling for him to step down, but their analysis is now that it is over and he is done and only Biden doesn’t know it.
Saying “he can’t do the job and everyone knows it. You can’t fix that”
The flock has wheeled about.
And opened fire
I am still amazed at their command and control. It all happened within an hour. Suddenly, Biden was targeted as nonviable.
Also…. about 2 hours in, the White House leaks a call with Pelosi, saying she said he can’t win and will cost them a chance to take the house.
Again, the White House leaked the call.
I love Teladoc. 11:15 pm, in my recliner, on my iPad, I say, “I think I have X,” run down symptoms, she says, “Sounds like it. Here’s an RX,” and all I have to do is go to the pharmacy and pick up the drugs I wanted. Done in 15 mins with forms and actual visit.
Yup. With 3 kids it is a lifesaver. Plus, on our plan there is no copay.
So…
No wait
No cost.
Fast service.
For routine issues it is a no-brainer.
Mine has a small copay, but it’s more than worth it.

Good morning, Sean and Teh Hype!
…and by the way, take THAT, any haters lurking here!
USA Today must be hurting for Ad Revenue if they took that bribe.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess I couldn’t read the whole story. That site’s individual news stories disappear from my screen after a couple of seconds. I suspect it may be because of my ad blocker, but I don’t know how to turn it off even if I wanted to. Fortunately, the site will still let me see their main weather page and, most important of all Monday through Friday, the traffic map.
It was a short article, and the only study naming Skyline “The Best” was from USA Today. Which is why I joked that they were bribed. I have to assume that the people who ran the study were fans.
I simply don’t think Skyline rates “the best”
Is it actually chili without beans? That’s meatsauce: “Two sausage dogs with meatsauce, please.”
Beans do not belong in chili, but skyline doesn’t even have large enough pieces of meat to qualify either. It’s a thin meat sauce served on spaghetti.
Topped with a MOUNTAIN of shredded cheddar cheese! 😋🧀
I bareloy got a molehill of cheese… 😥
Will not go there..
Mornin’ GT, Hype and Sean,
Early for me but since I am up for the day I’m having a coffee, black. Always the same
Good morning, 4(20)!
A few days ago my yard light was “strobing”, flashing on/off at a really annoying rate and me with no disco music. Anyway, I took it down, ordered a new fixture. I decided to look at the connections, took them apart and sort of cleaned them up. Re-tightend the screws on the the plug (they were slightly loose). Hung the light back up and it works perfectly. New fixture arrives tomorrow, I’ll keep it, “just in case”, meaning it goes to the garage to be forgotten. I could use one on the garage though. Hmmm.
On my long list of things to get done is outside lighting. Seems that list gets longer the more things I knock out.
Now that I am retired I dont know how I ever had time to work.
Speaking of things to do….we and the neighbors exchange food fairly often. Tomorrow we are making this to share with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxkBxtCcr-Q
I am looking forward to it.
What can I do to get my wife to stop watching the RNC? The almost certain election of Trump and stomping of the commies has her quite upbeat of late but I am worn out on the carnival like atmosphere of politics.
I am way too fearful that Kamala will beat him, one way or another.
Kamala is far too unpopular to unite the dems against Trump.
She used to throw people in jail for smoking weed, then go smoke some weed, herself.
Weed, nothing — it should suffice to remind folks “She kept folks in prison to be slaves of CalFire.”
Literally… she kept people imprisoned expressly to use them as forced labor. If that doesn’t sink her with the African American community, you’ve got me as to what will. (And honestly every other community… but especially there…).
I hope you’re right.
