Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I guess the guys get the redhead of the day.
First, the song of the day.
Now for the hunks.
Whut.
A recent Hamlet.
Looks nice and cool there.
Reminds me of someone, can’t remember who.
Last, but not least.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week. Y’all have a good day. Prayers for those traveling this week.

Hump
Day
I am waaay too old…..
Wakey wakey
Concert was so good last night.
Nice song Roamy
Any mask wearers at the concert?
I was partly through with that ‘economic doom loop’ article at American Greatness when I started getting so sad I left it for a minute, and then found it was at ace’s too.
Not sure what to do now. Are we going to stay with the inflation doom, or is he going to plunge us into a massive recession?
I guess either way we are going to have supply issues. We are going to need a new hot water heater at some point soon, I think we should go ahead and get it now. Maybe a dishwasher too. Ours is very long in the tooth.
The trucker/railroad/diesel fuel article Lumpy linked last night makes it obvious this is not an aberration, rather a plan. I just watched the Motha Trucka guy’s video, not the full hearing video. But the point of the article is that there is deliberate obfuscation regarding this diesel fuel crisis. We are being ruled by tyrants.
I saw one.
I was thinking the same thing about my dishwasher, Lumps. I was waiting for Trump to get rid of the regulations that require a 3-hour cycle and a gallon of water. Ah well.
Yes, because they are retarded they hate diesel, and plus because of the protests they hate truckers, too. Are they that venal, petty, and stupid? Yes.
Sobek is a pretty smart man, but the other day he suggested Chino may not be able to hit it hard on the stage anymore. The screams, etc.
I’m embarrassed for Sobek. To be so spectacularly wrong.
My shower was a little cool last week and I was wondering about the water heater. Turns out it was a combination of the washing machine going and being #3 in line for a shower without a sufficient gap in time between them. No problems since.
How long do they last? I’ve heard talk of 10 years, is that real or crazy talk?
Chino was saving his best for you
I vacillate between utter doom and my normal optimism.
It’s quite the wild ride.
If you pray, pray. And hand everything over to the Lord. We can’t control any of the crazy, just our response to it.
I don’t know what I’m saying. But it’s so against my nature to always be thinking about what could be lost that it’s unhealthy.
So Ollie is officially done at daycare. We originally had it going when I was working part time and he went those days. We kept it going to keep him socialized with other people and dogs and, frankly, to give the big dogs and us a break from his rambunctious behavior. But at this point it’s just an added expense we don’t need and I’m here to watch him most days.
The ladies at the daycare were sad. He’s quite the funny dog when he’s not being an asshole.
We still don’t trust him out of the crate when we’re gone more than 10 or 15 minutes so he goes in when we’re gone longer. Hopefully he’ll grow the fuck out of his destructive phase before too long. Rowan turned the corner at around 2 years old, we’re hoping the same for Ollie.
I was gonna ask if you have considered beatings, but then I remembered he’s a cattle dog and beatings don’t work.
He is snuggly for the last 30 minutes or so of the day when he hops up on the bed between us. After the lights are out he’ll calmly lay there and get behind the ear scritches. When I close my kindle he immediately hops out of bed and either sleeps on his dog bed or under our bed. We’re woken to the sounds of him wrestling with Rowan and stepping on our spleens with no regard for personal space. He is quite the lovable goober.
Most hot water heaters are designed to fall apart in 6-12 years.
The more you pay, the longer they last.
In case nobody saw it yesterday.
The basic gist: the government is holding and continues to buy a shittonne of mortgage-backed securities because of course they are. Same kind of thing that when it shit the bed, seized up the economy in 2008.
Read the whole thing.
https://amgreatness.com/2022/05/23/the-economic-doom-loop-has-begun/
I need to play catch up, but I’m thinking we should probably replace the water heater too. Ours is 22 years old. Old as the house …simple, builder’s grade.
Like every other thing, it’s probably doubled in price. I bought an “organic” cabbage yesterday…$5. For two shanks of lettuce..$6.
Venal and stupid, indeed. Not one peep from the sneaky half of the uni-party over any of this. (Rand Paul & the Johnson guy are outliers and shouldn’t be the only ones.)
when I started getting so sad I left it for a minute,
I’m at this point and having a hard time shaking it.
The fed is doing what the globalists want them to do, tank our economy. They particularly want us to be another Venezuela. The uni-party is all in.
Saw a clip of Crenshaw yesterday and had an overwhelming desire to smack him upside his willfully ignorant cunt head.
Maybe I need a cattle dog.
These are the days when I wish Leon didn’t run off CoAlex.
I have so many questions.
My guess is that China is slowly imploding but we don’t know it yet.
I forgot to turn the sound down on my phone, last night. Ping from my texts woke me this morning. Husband telling me the neighbor’s house is pending after being on the market for a week (they put it up for 425…looks like they accepted 409. This is the neighbor whose 21 yr old son died there over Christmas, a year ago. We’re thinking overdose. )
I still can’t get over how high houses are going for which is making me even more depressed as it will send our taxes even higher. Had we still had the farm with a toilet, we’d have moved there already and had this place sold. (Taxes were like $750/yr, there. ) Since everything is fucked up, by the time we’re ready to sell this place, the market will have collapsed.
Demrats are confident they’re going to keep the house and senate. They probably have 4000 mules at the ready, this time and the gop go ‘derp’.
“I’m embarrassed for Sobek. To be so spectacularly wrong.”
Sometimes it feels great to be wrong. Happy Wednesday, Car in.

The political class’s real problem is that Americans are not willing to suffer in the short term for their utopian endpoint. Americans need to be taken down a peg. This is the process we are seeing now. Make it hard to feed their children, make them struggle, make them ask for help.
Honestly, just sell the place. Don’t worry about getting it ready.
The market isn’t rational but it will be soon.
But there’s an army of NPCs out there…and they don’t know they’re NPCs.
My FIL dutifully reported that the Buffalo shooter (remember that?) did it because of Tucker Carlson. He never questions anything. Just Tucker Carlson is bad so that makes sense.
I asked him if he read the 180 page document. Nope.
He asked me if I knew what replacement theory was. Yep.
I asked him if he knew that replacement theory was dogma on the left for 30 or so years.
He’d never heard of it. But he was sure he would have known because he’s super informed.
You can’t win against NPCs. They just say whatever they’re told.
Not only did he sound really good – he seemed really HAPPY to be on stage. Smiles – while he sang for people to fuck off. lol It really makes a difference when bands are obviously enjoying themselves.
This was funny though – the bass player that they kicked out used to also sing backup vocals. No one else in the band can do it.
So they had this guy – who would walk on stage to sing the backup and then walk off. It was actually pretty hilarious. Like HE didn’t seem to be happy with his lot in life ( I think he also played rhythm guitar on a few songs) . We were joking that Chino just turned to one of the roadies and told him it was HIS night to fill in the backup vocals.
Where I’ve been staying folks sometimes let their dogs run loose. Today I had to slow to a stop when one the size of a small deer was standing directly in the middle of the road on a rainy morning.
Swear to God, if I didn’t know the local habits I’d have brought the poor thing into my car, called work to say I’d have been delayed, and tried to bring it home to its people. Hell, I nearly did as it was.
I am fervently hoping I do not come to regret my decision to leave it be and hope it moseyed home in short order. I have enough reason to hate myself.
This was the excitement I saw last night. The first song is shaky here as it was shaky last night. I think Chino sorta isn’t completely warmed up at the start of the show? So skip to 5:19 to hear Be Quiet and Drive.
For Car in only. Anyone else can listen, but I don’t think you’ll like it.
They’re trotting out that “Salvador Ramos” was born in North Dakota.
They’ll make the facts fit in whichever box serves them best.
Second song of the set last night.
These people are just … not serious.
https://nypost.com/2022/05/24/suspect-in-nyc-subway-shooting-of-daniel-enriquez-surrenders/
They are upset that during his surrender negotiations, the police rushed in and arrested him. HE IS INNOCENT. Because he’s crazy. His entire family knew that.
And he had a gun because …?
Let me tie this into the Oxford school shooter- who’s parents ARE STILL IN JAIL BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
Huh. Ok.
add gun grabbing to your 2022 platform dems. That’s a sure winner.
what are the parents charged with for Oxford, car in? That sounds pretty Jan 6ish, in that they jail people for whatever.
What are they charged with? “The Crumberly’s were charged with involuntary manslaughter and are accused of not taking their son out of school when a counselor expressed concern over a disturbing drawing and making a gun accessible to their son.”
Which is all under dispute.
But if this is the standard, there are a WHOLE lotta parents that need to be in jail.
How many moms of gang bangers KNOW their child is in a gang and has a gun?
Let’s lock ’em up!
Otto’s getting his nuts cut off right now. Poor boy. He really hates even leaving out property. He was NOT a happy boi.
wasn’t he going to live with one of the boys? isn’t he gonna hate that?
haha MTG wins her primary, AP called it at 8:04 on election night. Doesn’t seem to be much controversy. Good luck in that district, democrats.
At least Hank Johnson runs unopposed
Yea … he’s not going anywhere. I’m a mega foster failure. I keep the foster dog AND her puppies.
We just love them though.
Erin is obsessed with Otto. I’m obsessed with Lucy. Nova is just a great dog.
That’s how you end up with 5 dogs, people. i hope I’m a cautionary tale to everyone.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
It’s only going to get worse from here.
They said: “Who has hate in his soul? Who has envied his neighbour?
Let him arise and control both that man and his labour.”
They said: “Who is eaten by sloth? Whose unthrift has destroyed him?
He shall levy a tribute from all because none have employed him.”
They said: “Who hath toiled, who hath striven, and gathered possession?
Let him be spoiled. He hath given full proof of transgression.”
They said: “Who is irked by the Law? Though we may not remove it.
If he lend us his aid in this raid, we will set him above it!
So the robber did judgment again upon such as displeased him,
The slayer, too, boasted his slain, and the judges released him.
Kipling knew.

I’ve seen a few mentions of that. All the big players are in distress — America, Russia, the Chi-Coms. This is when Somalia is going to surprise the world and emerge triumphant
what happens to nations that are imploding? Like Weimar germany?
I’m the captain, now!
Idiots on facebook are triggering me with their stupid anti-gun memes.
OH, I saw a FJB shirt at the concert last night. I gave him a fist bump and he thanked me.

In the trial of Tim Hale, Biden’s DOJ just produced a large box containing an exhibit.
Prosecutors handed the box to an FBI agent who is testifying. He removed the exhibit to show to the DC jury.
It was a Trump 2020 flag.

The flag wasn’t used as a weapon. At some point, Hale picked it up and carried it toward his exit point.
This is nothing more than political persecution—the flag is intended to enrage a jury from a city that voted almost 94% for Joe Biden.
Also lots of references to “red hats.”
I did not expect to hit weather on the way back from Hotspur’s, but it was naaaaaasty wet and spitting the whole way like your mom.
These are the days when I wish Leon didn’t run off CoAlex.
#metoo I hate that I’m such an asshole.
You are what you eat
Facts.
The rain just got here a half hour ago. I thought about you driving in it and thought NUTS, I hope it isn’t severe where he is headed.
The engine was bone dry when I arrived, just the front face of it got wet I think. Letting it dry out in the garage for now, will test chipping later this afternoon.
Also, my tractor has arrived at the dealership. L4701. Same frame as Carin’s, but about twice the ponies.
Mrs Hotspur even offered me a cover as I was leaving, but it wasn’t supposed to rain here until Friday, so I declined. It’s not actually raining here, it was just Jackson to Kalamazoo getting hit.

Democrats have trouble with timing at political events
Well you ghouls may love dead children, but not me. I hereby call for some common sense legislation to solve this problem.
First, we need to make it illegal to murder people.
Second, we need to make it illegal to carry a gun in a school zone.
Call your congressman today!
We need to make it illegal to give teens psychoactive drugs outside of an asylum.
Democrat action plan:
1. Pass a law
2. Don’t enforce it
3. Pass another law
4. Don’t enforce that one either
5. Blame all crime on white supremacy
This morning I walked out and found my 4 year old son watching the news
Speaking Truth to Power
I wonder why he deleted this tweet?
Maybe if schools became less concerned with the gender identity feeling and other attention grabbing narcissistic behaviors, and more with mental illnesses that result in violence …
I imagine the genderqueer teachers want really nothing to do with those icky mental illness kids. The outsider who doesn’t know enough to have pink hair and demand a zeh pronoun – no one wants to deal with that.
What gun was used in Texas?
Sounds like it was an AR, Mare.
NY Post article showed 2 AR style rifles in a picture but I can’t confirm that’s what he carried.
I don’t buy any details yet, too soon. They already walked back the armor claim.
As I’ve seen in a 4ch meme:
“a barely 18 trans Mexican born in North Dakota with no history or motive used over $5000 in ammunition and firearms and drove a $60000 truck to a school in rural Texas and shot kids for no reason”
It was big,black scary gun with a million rounds that they allow 13 year olds to buy.

How Does a “poor immigrant” kid own a $2200 Daniel Defense AR and a $700.00 Eotech and drives a $60,000 truck on a part-time job?
Wait ’til they tell us it was a “ghost gun”. I’m actually surprised that hasn’t bubbled up yet.
Makes for a valid argument that welfare pays too well if libiots are complaining about how much the gun, ammo & truck he drove cost.
Ok. Mark this day in history. I’m tossing Biden a bone for his E.O. which is mostly shit, but placing limits on no knock warrants is nearly satisfactory, banning them all together is the correct thing to do, but its a start. Another good addition that he failed to address is “swatting”. He should have addressed that with if you’re convicted of orchestrating a swatting event you will spend life in prison with no hope for parole or “good times” sentence reductions.
twitter: you can guess what side Morning Joe is on, and it’s BETO!
I think no knocks have to be curtailed, but have to keep them. Make them hard to get, but do not get rid of them.
Makes for a valid argument that welfare pays too well if libiots are complaining about how much the gun, ammo & truck he drove cost.
4ch isn’t mostly libtards. The point of the comment is “where TF did he get funding for this op?” because a part-time job at Wendy’s doesn’t get you there.
Listened to part of an Oliver Stone interview on the Lex Fridman podcast. I was surprised to learn that the Russian leaders are kind, straightforward people who care primarily about the good of the world. The cold war was strictly one sided, pushed by the US. In fact, poor Putin was tricked and fell into the devious US trap by invading Ukraine. Commies are good, people, they’re just misunderstood.
It still boils down to welfare handing out too much $ if the kid had that much disposable income with just a part time job flipping burgers. Either that or he was into sales, IYKWIMAITTYD.
Christ, I own my house and vehicles, have no debt, have a full time job & can’t afford what that kid had.
In some places, any death in the process of commission of a felony adds a capital murder charge to the stack. (This even applies if it was an accomplice that died, because fuck criminals.) This should apply to swatting.
Kid had undeclared income. Guaranteed. Only way welfare shells out that much is for single mothers with multiple kids.
Dude had a side hustle, almost certainly illegal. Could be drug related, could be working with coyotes (which would drop this from the national radar so fast you’d wonder if it ever actually happened).
Disagree J’ames, no knock warrants should not be legal.
Serve the warrant. After knocking and announcing the warrant the officers serving the warrant hear a panicked scramble going on in the building then bust the door down.
Doing otherwise is begging for a cop getting his head blown off by a 12 gage shotgun then a fire fight ensues.
And given how sloppy law enforcement is, chances are the civilians shooting back aren’t even the intended targets but legit think they’re fighting off a home invasion. Which, well, they are.
I’d REALLY prefer to keep castle law and let judges & prosecutors have to work a little harder to earn their keep than find out defending myself in my own home gets me 60 in the pen for murder because of a typo in the address on a no knock warrant, or I become destitutely poor because I had to hire a good lawyer to defend against the charges.
I have offtopic bad news.
I wonder if he stole the money from his grandma? Which lead to his shooting her in the face?
When I imagined a future w/o “color” it was because the races had just intermixed for so long … apparently, the BLM imagines it because the white people just all die off or something. they’re all pissed apparently because Lebron’s son took a cute white girl to prom.
I played an RPG once with a futuristic setting where the world government had outlawed same-race marriage to combat racism.
Same-race pr0n was highly-valued contraband.
Given that the average person in the setting already had cafe au lait skin, epicanthic folds, and kinky red-brown hair, I’m not sure how long they could have kept that going.
Well, that WOULD be a very liberal thing these days, given liberals coming out of their closets with there perversions. As a liberal a gun = large penis. So it all cums together for them. Shoot granny in the face.
So…we’ve had multiple break ins and smash and grabs. We aren’t allowed to stop. I personally have no desire to stop. Still have a bullet hole in our exit door. One greeter quit after the exit door was shot. She felt marginalized. CoW was threatened at the entrance, management could’ve cared. He’s currently looking for a new job. Today, some old Mexican guy on his phone, ran his cart into a young Mexican guy…it was getting tense. NGL I hid.
“NGL I hid.”
I fully support this decision. Run hide fight.
At work it’s called ADD. Avoid. Deny. Defend.

That’s fucking stupid. Deny? I worked at two companies that conducted active shooter training for employees and nobody used this weird verbiage.
One fun thing about watching ST:TOS is seeing actors that you recognize from other shows and figuring out where you remember them from. In this one a doctor on a prison planet is the guy who played Inspector Luger on Barney Miller.
Also Spock uses Vulcan Mind Meld for the first time.
I am driving a 2018 truck with 82000 miles on it.
I paid $35,000 for it and was just offered $32,000 to trade it in.
Crazy times.
New truck would be $60,000 – $75,000 so hard no.
My friend who got denied on the vax exemption is heading for some travel jobs. He’ll be happier elsewhere except for missing his family.
He and another friend mentioned that they’re cutting the travel nurse’s pay by $1000 a week, mid-contract. They’re turning the Ortho floor into a SNF/nursing home floor. Morale is at an all time low there.
The guy who stayed on is a CT tech and he’s been super slow at work since all the IV contrast shortage related to Shanghai being shut down. It will be months before the contrast is restored. The sole US manufacturer i only honoring existing contracts which makes sense. I’;m sure they’re facing raw material shortages too.
Lumps, we have to take the ADD training every 3 months. It is garbage. Partnered with TX university
It gets more cringe every time.

The truck was grandmoms. The kid could not drive and he totaled the truck into a culvert, then ran the rest of the way to the school. Pictures at Daily Mail. They did not take him down for 90 MINUTES!!! after the first 911 call. He quit his 16 hour/week burger flipper job in March.
I want to know – WHO buzzed him into the school?
He “confronted” the armed school resource officer, but no shots were exchanged?!?!
He was wearing a plate-carrier, without plates. There’s the ‘body armor’ claim.
This whole thing smells really bad…
