Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
First, the song of the day. Been teaching Mini-me about country songs and crossovers.
Now for the hunks.
Another from “Longmire”.
Hmm.
Good form?
Lots of pullup pics.
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.

Red Flag laws will become the new swatting of conservatives
It’s that childhood stutter that he developed right when his brain started melting down.
The right should start using red flag laws immediately. Disarm everyone to the left of the mothership.
I broke down and read a recap of the Jan 6th thing at Hot Air and that screed could easily have been posted on DU.
The heroes of the story were the volunteers who didn’t cheat at all, they were just passing back and forth candy, not zip drives. And now that they were singled out by Trump as corrupt, they don’t go to the grocery store anymore for fear of white supremacists lurking in the shadows…says the 350 pounds woman.
The author even speculated that she wore a disguise previously for fear of her life because in her other interviews she had green or purple hair and wore glasses. She was all cleaned up and professional looking for this one, though. Must have been trying to throw off those white supremacists with the brightly colored danger hair.
Liz Cheney is the true hero, dontcha know. She’s standing on principle, not like the icky Ted Cruz.
And Mike Pence was nearly killed so he’s also a hero. Nearly KILLED by the blood thirsty mob!
These are the weak sisters on the right. They believe everything on reddit and the huffington post. It’s sad.
*red flags mj
it’s like a big soccer game. everyone plays the victim hoping for a yellow card. and here comes corrupt ref Cornyn with a red flag!
I went to see if anyone had gotten sane at national review yesterday. Nope. The Jan 6 people are insurrectionists and the party must be cleansed of Trump.
it’s a man, baby!
who else feels that the red wave just got a lot smaller

Deliberate, Jay.
Betrayals like this don’t happen in the dark of night by accident.

In the wake of the stellar police performance at Uvalde, Republican senators have decided now is the time for more gun control. Why would you need a gun when you have these donut eating whales to rely on?
They have identified the enemy as the bare majority of Americans who disagree with them on most issues. That’s the true danger to them. Us.
Meanwhile, these laws will have zero effect on criminal activity or murder rates. Criminals will retain guns and they will not be punished for violating gun laws. But you, someone who obeys the law and wants to protect your family, will be disarmed.
OK. I gotta start my day. ‘ta
If the weak sisters on the right can’t see how red flags will be weaponized but Matthew McConaughey gets it, I’m not voting anymore.
Of course they can see it, that’s why they did it.
They aren’t stupid, they are on the other side.

By the way, that link to the bill was removed from Cornyn’s website.
No word from Hannity yet, on Miss Lindsey siding with the democrats. They are getting to the bottom of it.
they sure love that word bipartisan

How’s your back feeling, Lumpy? Hopefully all better.
Dear Jay in Ames,
Holy crap.

In other words, employment for all of the affirmative action hires your heart could ever desire.
Yep, said it.
All of these ‘solutions’ seem to be more money to hire people to do voter outreach for democrats. It’s never ending.
and the republicans are driving it, allowing the dems to sit back and laugh.
I guess they think the wine moms will love this shit.
of course the wine moms love this.
this wine mom does NOT love this shit.
Yeah, but you’re a racist.
twitter: republicans are not afraid of their voters
just wow, Capito.
Oh, look at all the little community programs that will be getting money…this funding will be the seed money for the National Civilian Police Force that Zero has been wanting forever. They can’t get the job done unless our friends and neighbors are watching us.
My back has been taking forever to heal, Sobek, thanks for asking. I only just went back to work yesterday briefly. Still having a hard time getting in and out of the car. This is the longest I have ever been injured like this. So aggravating, I have a lot of stuff that needs to get done.
Anybody read that interview with Gen. MacGregor? What did you think?
Read it, matches my perception but I’m just a guy reading the news who doesn’t have a grift investment in the outcome.
it sounds like the general realizes that the Russians wanted to strong arm a negotiated settlement, giving them Crimea legitimately and an inroads to getting the Donbas regions. But Ukraine didn’t want that, and we egged them on in the fight. Meanwhile, Russia changed and will now just occupy and wait out Ukraine, taking Donbas away in the end. They never intended to get the whole country.
I thought the bit about why the Russian population in the contested areas didn’t assist the Russian invasion was interesting and revealing of how bad the Ukraine government really is. Egads.
The assessment of how incoherent our own policies have been during the engagements of the last few decades is depressingly familiar.
400 years of slavery? Harris is an idiot.
she has to say that, or the 1619 project is fiction.
talked to mom last night about Ernst voting for Red Flag. She didn’t expect it, because Ernst is ex-military. I said Dad was opposite of what Ernst currently is, and all the people like Dad are gone. Officer corps is more woke than anything now. She agreed.
So, how many tens of billions of dollars are we going to send to Afghanistan for “disaster relief”?
They were still slaves in 2019?
I guess voting for the party of slavery wasn’t helping after all.
i’m sure we’re shoveling money to the taliban as we speak.
How much of U$ power is just throwing dollars at things?
How many dollars can they throw at things before they are just worthless?
dumb question, but wouldn’t the Uvalde cops have selective fire AR15s, and not the same as the shooter (single shot)?
Not necessarily, Jay, it depends on the police force.
dumb question, but wouldn’t the Uvalde cops have selective fire AR15s, and not the same as the shooter (single shot)?
Why, because automatic fire automatically grows you some balls?
everyone is claiming that the police had the same weapons as the killer. I submit that is generally true, but could be even more so. They had more of them too. No excuse for sitting behind their ballistic shields.
Wouldn’t a selective-fire AR-15 just be an M-16 in all but name?
yes
Needed more training, funding, and better equipment. Cops are the real heroes.
we could get the cops a staff, ones that would actually go into dangerous situations, so the cops wouldn’t be in any danger.
That would solve it.
Hot spot is right.
At 25 to 30 feet debating the efficacy of semi auto verse burst is pointless.
The bottom line is the cops proved they were gutless turds and will live out their lives knowing that they jacked off in the halls and parking lots while little kids were being slaughtered.

Lots of ppl dancing around the cop situation and trying to “give them the benefit of doubt” or whatever; fuck them. I have no respect for them – I suppose that makes me a bad citizen.
i think we’re on the same page, jamster
twitter: Brandon tells all private sellers of gasoline to stop price gouging
idiot.
Thin blue line. True patriots.
Without cops you could get shot to death by a well known psychopath as a child.
Uvalde is a grim metaphor for America. Replace the cops with the GOP and the shooter with the globohomos and there you go.
I wonder if Hannity will have his Good Friend Miss Lindsey on to explain her vote.
In other news, I texted my old boss in Vegas about the Lake Mead Situation with “It looks bad.” He texted back “It’s going to get worse.” He didn’t elaborate though since he was getting on a plane to go to some hearing.
This is going to be one hell of an ugly year.
If you get to the bomber first, you can fly your ass to some water.
It’s actually dry and crispy here too, which usually doesn’t happen until August. We had a wet spring and are due for rain next week, though.
A friend of mine went to a rifle class last year. 2 of the attendees were a husband and wife sniper team from a midwestern police department. They showed up with brand new rifles, scopes, night vision scopes, etc. Probably $20K of gear each. They had no idea how to use it. Didn’t know how to mount and sight in the scopes. Had trouble hitting the 100 yard target. My friend was just hoping they never needed to be called out to a hostage situation.
well THAT’S fuckin’ terrifying
Midwest weather frequently becomes our weather after a piece. I’mma preload the garden with extra water and mulch this week. Now I wish I had emptied my rain barrel before this last rain.
Well, it’s been dry and hot here all week. Great for hay harvest, but the hay dust has been awful.
we got dumped on last week, 4-5 inches
“we got dumped on last week, 4-5 inches”
Your mom was not impressed.

This looks like an insurrection …
Comments are pretty funny
News ticker says the Kavanaugh kid appeared in court & plead not guilty.
I missed the charges. Hoping it’s not attempted murder or attempted kidnapping as neither happened. He wised up and asked for help before he went that far. We don’t want to be the ones to start prosecuting thinking about committing a crime while never carrying it out. The whole damned country would be in prison.
i heard he texted his sister, and she talked him into surrendering
Why is it that a vast number of the most outspoken women regarding abortion have zero chance of ever getting pregnant?
Cave-in Cornyn. And the Hell of it is, he KNOWS that his seat is gonna be safe, because nobody wants to put Democrats in positions of power in Texas.
Hell, they’re already there, they just have R’s after their names.
I remember watching a video a long time ago where some guy replicated some joinery similar to this, making a table or something in his shop.
It’s just amazing. Pretty sure there was a serious tablesaw shortage in Japan 100+ years ago.

I heard the same, J’Ames. Mental issues are a different animal, if that’s true, but he clearly did not attempt to kill or abduct anyone. May have thought about it and planned, but did not execute the plan, asked for help instead. More liberals should see the wisdom of the kids way.
Hit him with the possession charges, give him time to think about it. He didn’t commit a life ender.

Leave for my race tomorrow. I just want to say you’ve all been a big and important part of my life. It’s not sobek’s fault he didn’t come and help me out … I’m sure he had something more important to do….
It’s supposed to be a million degrees and the trails have elevations of crazy proportions. Don’t feel bad if something happens. Well … maybe hotspur and sobek should feel bad.
That would make me feel better.
Gotta love Kennedy.
” You know what oil is. It’s Satan’s martini.”
Carin, can I have your skort collection when you die?
Given Maryland gun laws, I can safely say the Kavanaugh would-be assassin committed at least one felony.
Tonight’s TOS: the famous episode “Mirror, Mirror” where Kirk and some of the command crew beam aboard the Evil version of the Enterprise. Written by Jerome Bixby! You may not know his name but he wrote the short story “It’s A Good Life” that was adapted for one of the more famous Twilight Zone episodes – the one where Bill Mumy played the kid with terrifying mental powers who put people “into the cornfield”.
Lumps, I hope your back gets better.

I’ll feel bad, it’s true, but just know, I was pulling for you.
Pulling what?
