Our government is a giant shitball of incompetents, liars and fascist pricks.





Woke up with double ear aches at 0230. Took Sudafed and browsed memes. Further updates as events warrant.
Ichiro girl is a fine and wholesome story, thanks for that and the memes, J.
Hope the Sudafed unstops them Pups. Every now and then I notice fluid in my ears and otherwise feel fine. It might be from allergies – who knows. I’m on the stinging nettle capsules and drink black tea with honey most afternoons at tea time and I think those help a little. Generic Alavert is my backup if it’s really bad/
Tea time is a pretty neat concept, not sure why it hasn’t really made it here.
I’m not sure how I picked it up. My old man drank tea at breakfast, took a thermos full to work and after dinner. He’d occasionally have one if he was watching the Bruins in a night game. Never saw him drink coffee once in my life. As a kid I drank tea with him and picked up coffee from my cop cousin-in-law who lived a couple of miles away. We’d visit often and my cousin Kathy would put a fresh pot on and we’d sit around the kitchen table telling stories while getting hopped up on coffee.
In unrelated health news, my bumblebee sting is progressing but it is nowhere near as bad as that wasp sting. Wasp stings (to me) result in cartoonishly out of control limb swelling, heat, dark redness, and pain, followed by insane itchiness and throbbing for a week as it heals.
This has blown up a bit and turned reddish and warm but only to about a 5 inch diameter and it doesn’t hurt.
Wasps must have some extra spicy ingredients in their concoction.
I really need to look into that allergy immunotherapy thing. Would be so great to not have this anymore. I’m so jumpy about buzzing noises in the garden now. When I hear a damn ricerocket on the highway two miles away I freeze and scan my surroundings before I can even think about it for a second. Ridiculous.
Teatime is a great idea and I think I’m going to try to take it up with my functional herbal teas. I had been toting some to work now and then but didn’t keep up with it because it’s just not convenient. In the late afternoon when things have died down a bit and I’m between tasks is really the perfect time.

So much for Brandon’s interview with Lester Holt overshadowing the opening of the RNC convention. The only clips I saw were of FJB whining about the press’s coverage of the debate that focused on his “bad night” and not THE 18 LIES HIS OPPONENT TOLD DURING IT!
COME ON MAN !!!
https://proudpatriots.com/products/trump-fight-to-save-america-trading-card-graded-gem-mint-10
A “10” graded card implies it’s a rare treasure but they’re selling it as a 10 and the company doing the grading, WCG, gets panned by every card collecting forum I can find. (I had to look that up, it’s CGC for comics and a couple of other minor players).
So $30 for a $1 card that only suckers and losers would buy
Ok so I was totally wrong. A big part of the story is the SS protection. Now that I’ve taken a min to listen to people smarter than me it seems as though they decided to stop at chick fil a rather than do their jobs.
But I stand by my point that the Dems caused this. Less than 48 hours later they’re back to Trump is Hitler.
Wakey wakey
I’ve been TEAM COMPLETE FAILURE PEOPLE NEED TO BE FIRED –
They should be completely embarrassed that a 20 year old dipshit was able to out outsmart them.
It is a or b.
Or 1 or 2. This comment box is in control here.
service. My c appears to be having trouble. Have to hit it extra hard.
They teamed up with a guy who can’t shoot.
That is SO government.
1st social security check cleared!
Booyah!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Scott, you earned it, may you collect for many many years. I get my direct deposit on the 4th Wednesday of every month, because of my birthday late in the month.
Lumps, glad to hear the sting is not so bad. They can truly be life threatening to some so you are correct to not treat it lightly.
hey pupster, is the Teamsters a really big deal in Ohio? I think I understand the Vance pick more, unions.

Scott, how old a fellow are you? I’m coming up on 64.5 and wondering if I ought to go ahead and head to the trough while there’s still a few scraps left.
He belonged to a range, was a practiced shooter.
Trump turned and the shot missed by an inch. It happens. Anyone who’s hunted deer has the same story. The important thing is that the kid was disposable for whoever ran him.
so the Secret Service had temp agents, and the head of the detail was new? The head of SS (heh) isn’t looking good now. Probably gonna take the fall for Mayorkas.

Look, I’m buying the car, you can stop selling it now.
OK, OK. I’m behind the Vance VP pick now. The more I read and hear, the better he sounds.
62.
I got my foot in the door, and might be grandfathered when the cuts come.
Car in, the options are not mutually exclusive. We know the regular detail was instead diverted to Jill Biden (!!!) and the substitutes…well the thing speaks for itself. It’s becoming clear the vulnerability was known for DAYS. And the record is clear regarding incitement.
And yet…a turn of the head at the right time…
God’s hand was on Trump. Still the sovereign ally against all wicked plans.
I see that a common theme on the Left is that the shooter was a “registered Republican.”
Which is really meaningless. The kid was only 20, so he wasn’t registered for anything very long. The ability to change party affiliation is so simple, it can switch every election. People change parties in order to vote in primaries that they hope to influence (unless that state has open primaries), regardless of any intention to vote for that party in the actual election.
I voted for Tulsi Gabbard in the Democratic primary before 2020, because (1) the county I lived in made voting Republican an exercise in futility anyway, and (2) I hated every other Democratic candidate. For years afterward, the DNC thought I was a Democrat and inundated me with their stupid mailings. I voted Republican in the actual election.
Anybody take a shot at someone from a rooftop this morning?
this incident brought out more solid democrats in my social media circles. It’s smoking them out, slowly, they just can’t resist.
As far as Social Security goes, it matters when the date you can collect full (100%) benefits is, not just your current age. For me, that was 66 and 2/3. I started taking it when I could get the 100% amount. The penalty for taking a benefit early is pretty severe.
I know folks who want to wait until they are able to collect the full enhanced amount (for me that would have been around 72, iirc.) I decided that was foolish, given the shaky long-term prospects. To give up almost 7 years worth of monthly checks in order to start getting a benefit that was maybe 115% of the full benefit … well, I wouldn’t even break even until I was in my late 70’s. And that doesn’t factor in the decreasing value of the dollar.
But as the system gets more uncertain, taking a benefit sooner makes more sense. Also given that the COLA increases are basically pulled out of their ass in order to keep the benefit from actually keeping up with inflation.
Thanks for soc sec info.
Carin, Make sure to tell Pay he needs to hit the C hard.
Wading through twitchnutz this morning. Supposedly local cops were supposed to have a swat team on the roof where the assassin was. They chose to stay inside the building rather than go atop. Counter sniper couldn’t fire on assassin until they were sure it wasn’t a friendly.
Bottom line, it sounds like planning and interagency coms were equivalent to a middle school field trip.
therm …. Ha ha ha …
you just told home though – he often reads here
have we heard the sober analysis from the dispatch yet about the shooting?
and what does Jonah think of JD?
Its a crap shoot, unless you know how long you will live.
True, but you can get odds on your longevity. Those statistical tables exist. Which you then tailor with first hand knowledge about your own health.
It’s no different than life insurance, except inverted. The longer you live, the more SocSec pays you. For life insurance, it’s just the opposite. (Which makes you wonder why the SocSecAdmin didn’t use those payroll taxes to buy life insurance policies on us instead of handing it over to Congress to spend. I guess we didn’t have confidence in giving the government any more reasons to kill us off early.)
There are no guarantees in life. You take your best shot at figuring out what should work.
From over at Bayou Renaissance Man …
CNBC put up an interesting article (it’s worth reading) about how, since men tend to die earlier than women, older women are likely to receive a lot of money and assets from their husbands who predecease them.
So far, so good.
Unfortunately, the headline CNBC’s editor(s) chose was . . . not so good.
The giggling among financially inclined commenters has been epic.
FIB say they cracked the guy’s phone and they say there’s nothing there. Dude has no friends, no presence on SM, no nothing anywhere. Just a complete cypher. Exactly like that Vegas shooter guy. Amazing.
TBF, I didn’t have any social media presence at 20 either.
Of course that was 1996, so it was more normal back then.
I’m with you guys on the Social Security thing. I got “retired” early during the Obama admin so I started taking SS as soon as I was eligible without paying a penalty (age 62.5). It took a lot of pressure off my IRA investments and has allowed them to grow. My logic was that if I waited to take the full benefit, my time to break even would be shorter, so I was better off having the reduced amount sooner. Number 1 is you don’t know how long you’re going to live. Number 2, if you don’t need the money you can always invest it, the market has done fairly well considering all the shit fiscal policies. It’s kind of a time value of money thing. The web is littered with people offering advice.
The wife mentioned retiring late this year. There is some caveat in the rules for way that she decides on when and how to take her SS benefits that is influenced by my benefits, spousal something something that I’ll have to look up. If I remember correctly, the options she chooses when starting benefits will affect the benefits she gets after I pass, assuming I pass before she does.
Awright, you fucking blackpill bitches, let your friendly neighborhood depressive whiner adjust yo’ attitudes.
Is the old America gone? Yes.
Is there no hope at all, then?
Fuck. That. Noise. Into. Space.
America was built one pocket at a time. Small areas of civilization that expanded into the wilds and shoved aside the savages. Bit by bit, generation by generation. And that is exactly how we must now rebuild it.
It will not be quick. Not in our lifetimes, or our childrens’, or likely not even our childrens’ childrens’. But it will be done. Because the remnants are strong and true. Because not all the young are lost. Because we still have a lot to work with to get the job done.
What we do now is build those pockets up. When we see an opening, reclaim ground lost. Bit by bit, inch by inch, until America is a proper nation once again.
It will be different in some ways…but that is the way of all things.
Also, I’m pretty sure those “black pills” are just licorice jellybeans. I mean, come on people!
wow, this really happens.

I have chewable vitamin C in the shape of citrus fruit segments.

Cheatle:
“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.”
unbelievable
I take White pills.
Where’s a Goody Proctor to accuse her of witchcraft when we need one?
sloped roof safety > President safety
Wait until you see the new guidelines on stepping in front of a bullet! That isn’t safe either!
SS is not capable of working under safer conditions than roofers.
OSHA wouldn’t approve.
Stop it you guys. She’s a uterus having person and deserves respect.
The roof pitch looked to be about 2/12. 9.46º you guys.
I could pick out any three streetwalkers more deserving of respect than Cheatle.
My lawn at the edge of the road is like 15 degrees and I mow slantwise on that.
the guys on the other roof that shot him are contacting their union
“Is it acceptable that you have still not heard, at least publicly, from the Secret Service Director?”
BIDEN: “Oh, I’ve heard from him.”
The Director of Secret Service is a woman.
Over there with Trump and Putin
Anyone seen the true identity of Officer Uvalde?
The Director of Secret Service is a woman.
Secret Cervix
Crazy thought I just had:
If AI sexbots get good enough to satisfy all the incels, where will leftists source their assassins from?
I posit to you that the Left has been holding this technology back for years if not decades purely for this reason.
Lib cousin is one of those cat ladies. Mr. RFH reminded me of the time she had bemoaned her life, that she was never going to get married, and that he thought (did not dare say out loud) you have a cat and all your male friends are gay, no, you aren’t.
Wouldabeen beards were truly hit hardest by the end of The Closet.
If JD Vance becomes president some day he’ll be the first president with a beard since the long ago days of 2016.
Overall, the trip was good, the funeral was mostly what it was supposed to be, everyone behaved themselves. The plane had engine issues, so we didn’t get home until very late. Very grateful for a lot of things.
Glad your Boeing didn’t boing, Roamy.
hehe, National Anthem singer at Home Run Derby says she was drunk, checking into rehab.
Yeah, it was that bad.
good to have you back, roams
checking into rehab
Hopefully she doesn’t leave her diary with a friend
I saw that National Anthem thing everywhere (okay, it was X and NY Post – repeatedly) and didn’t click on it. Now I’m glad I didn’t. Hopefully she’s sincere and not trying to save her “career” (one which I had no knowledge of before her recent social media fame and still don’t)

This convo reminds me of something…
Ah, yes.

The upside of the Secret Service is they didn’t accidentally shoot themselves or an innocent bystander. Of course that may mean that the guns weren’t loaded…

My computer problem turned out to be the monitor. $130 at Wally World and I’ve got a big, beautiful monitor again. The BEST monitor! Perfect monitor! You’ve never seen such a monitor! Sleepy Joe wishes he had this monitor, but he doesn’t! Poor, beady-eyed Sleepy Joe and his bad monitors. That’s why he’s babbling all the time you know? Because he can’t see his monitor!

looks like Mitchell is unburdened by what has been.
Did anybody else see the pastor doing the Trump impression at the RNC? Mitchell had to buy a new monitor, Sad, but he nailed it. And no fatties!
From the fearless leader of the Secret Service:
“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point.“
Ummm . . . hon . . . by definition the slope at the highest point of anything is zero.
Geoff, you know damn well she’s never taken calculus.
Or trig.
Maybe algebra. Under duress.

Right at the beginning of that clip, there is a big blonde female Trump impersonator with the camera crew.
I knew if the word anime graced this page Geoff would show up
Menendez convicted.
Finally giving up on the 35 year old Honda mower.
42″ zero turn gets delivered Thursday.
I wanted a zero turn but couldn’t convince myself that the difference in cost over a standard riding mower was worth it. I don’t know if it would be any faster now that I’ve got all my patterns worked out, but if I ever become completely unemployable and have to mow lawns for a living, I’ll want a zero.
The “slope was too dangerous” is so laughably stupid that it makes me think of the medical examiner in the “Boys on the Tracks” story (true crime thing in Arkansas) where one of the witnesses was found neatly decapitated and he declared that a stray dog must have bitten the head clean off and run away with it.
My theory at the time was that the ME basically had a gun to his head and was spouting nonsense hoping someone would investigate, but it’s just as plausible that he was making it clear to anyone else with evidence that you’d die and nobody would do a damn thing.
I think Kimmie here is the latter.
As far as Social Security age of enrolling goes, we put the payouts per age into excel and picked 80 as death year. No matter what year you started to collect, by 80 y/o you had collected the same amount.
Tomorrow is promised to no one.
Get what you can when you can. ‘THEY’ have run the numbers too…
I’m 48. I’ll be lucky if there’s fuckall by the time I’m 62.5.
Yes Leon, us old fuckers may have depleted the stash before you become of age.
ChrisP made a great point, Tomorrow is promised to no one.
I remember wondering if I would make it to 42 for the turn of the century. I’m just happy to wake up on the green side of the grass anymore.
Yeah. I tell my kids not to expect anything from the government by the time they reach retirement. That I’ll collect what I can now, and hopefully pass more along to them when I’m gone.
So my goal is to make sure I don’t run it down to zero when I punch out, and there is something left for them.
I knew if the word anime graced this page Geoff would show up
I’m perfectly in control of my anime habit – I only watch as much as I possibly can.
Just remember the zero turn in the front produces a big ass swing in the back. I had a neighbor break through my fence backwards because he forgot that maxim.

John Deere is backtracking on the DEI. Will be interesting to see which companies double down.

Let me know when they let you fix your own tractor.
Good point.
I went in with an open mind, but John Deere was a hard no.
Fuck them
The pic at 8:13 reminds me of an adventure I had. In the early 80’s I had a job at a construction delivery company. I was the only non drinker in the crew, and eventually (in 6 months) I was the only driver without a DUI. That meant I was the Boom Truck Driver. I drove to the job site, planted my outriggers and unloaded the 80,000# truck. Unknown to me the truck slipped down the slope putting a pine tree between the cab and the bed. Like the picture shown, The Crane operator on the 18 story High Rise next to me saw my plight and wrapped 3 straps around my truck and trailer and lifted me from around the pine tree between my bed and cab.
I gave him my lunch and 2 Spartan Supply Tee shirts and a SP hat. I still owe you Dude!
