Couple of new-ish videos from Penguinsix:
New security cameras at the Capitol and we go inside the National Cathedral, and the VP’s motorcade. This one should be good, since he hasn’t been inside the Cathedral since COVID. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGilOfk3Fwg 19 1/2 minutes. Oh, and he starts off in suit and tie and shaved!!
Just posted today: The VP’s motorcade, COVID flags on the mall, and (minor) US Capitol prep for Sept 18 protests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTbxD9is9-U 21 1/2 minutes long
Thanks. I grew up in the bay area. Ranches and orchids have been replaced with houses and gangs. SF and Oakland were still safe to shop and visit.
Things started to get bad in the later sixties, which is why my parents decided to move to Texas in early seventies. I hated it at first, the weather, no beach or mountains, but I loved the Texas people and attitude. I did eventually return to California, and I don’t regret it, but now it is so bad I don’t even want to visit.
I hear ya.
We were going to plan a summer trip to see a ball game and go see the (SoCal) sights, but....decided it’s just not worth taking our red state $$ to what has become of the once great, blue state of CA.
Same with a trip we had actually booked, for NYC....we cancelled that one.
Incredible, jenny.
Thanks for posting.
Heads need to roll.
(COVID Memorial flags being set up on Washington Monument grounds this morning.)
That means the Puke president is going to read a teleprompter.
Just turn it around and we will read it.
Should put flags up for people who died from the VAX!!
“Twilight Zone” music is playing in my head.
Yell all you want MS.
I go around here yelling all the time.
Asked neighbor if she could here me yell and she thinks we whip out each others yell.
Maybe if a person is making the attempt publicly they are looking for help.
“It was more fun being 20 in the 70’s than to be 70 in the 20’s.”
I like that.
Thanks.
And Biden, they know, is stupid enough to give it to them.
SPECTACULAR!!!!!
Reminded me of a movie I saw many, many, years ago where in the end a young woman had to go to the top of the volcano and sacrifice herself to calm the angry gods. I wish I could remember the name of that movie.
MTG says that Biden has blood on his hands.
Five for Fighting Ondrasik’s new song, “Blood on My Hands,” takes direct aim at the Biden White House for its botched Afghanistan strategy and calls out the failures of specific people in the administration while showing the true pain the singer feels for stranded Americans and our Afghan allies.
NEW SONG: BLOOD ON MY HANDS
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 IN UNCATEGORIZED
Like all Americans, I was stunned and horrified at the images of falling bodies from planes, mothers handing babies over walls, and terrified Afghans being crushed to death at checkpoints due to our precipitous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I am deeply troubled by the plight of Afghan women forced to live under the return of Taliban rule and felt great sadness when reading a story about a popular folk singer, Fawad Andarabi, being dragged from his home and shot by the Taliban.
Though I believe the decision to withdraw or not from Afghanistan has good arguments on both sides, I cannot comprehend why the Biden administration would not extend the August 31 deadline thus leaving American citizens, SIV holders, and Afghan allies behind to a terrorist Taliban regime. As a life-long supporter of our military I believe “no man left behind” applied to all Americans as well as those we promise to protect.
On the day 13 of our soldiers and over 60 Afghans were killed by a suicide bomber I sat down to write this song. After our last solider left Afghanistan, I received a call from a friend organizing rescue evacs of “AM-CITS” and SIV holders. It was a highly emotional call and moment of clarity. Private citizens now had the burden of risking their lives to rescue Americans and Afghan allies that our government left behind. America has broken her promise, but these brave Americans have not.
America was built on the foundational freedom to criticize one’s leaders and hold them accountable. It is what separates us from our communist and dictatorship adversaries. How else can we as a nation learn from our mistakes and make better decisions moving forward without honest reflection on our actions? To date, I have not seen that accountability.
There is a great tradition of artists speaking their minds and calling out their leaders for answers. Many of those have been inspirations to me. I understand that this song might be perceived by some as a political attack, but those who follow me know I am an American with a history of calling out both sides. If Donald Trump were President and he put us in the same situation, the song would remain the same, only the names would change.
After hearing “Blood on My Hands,” a friend said he found the song to be politically neutral, but morally-forward. My hope is that this song helps demand accountability, so the American promise is never again forsaken.

My favorite SoCal place to visit no more:

Creepy!!
Be careful of your ALEXA, she’s listening to you and no telling who she is reporting to.
You don’t talk in your sleep do you??😁
Was ALEXA chirping?
Our smoke alarm chirps when we need to change the battery.
” I cannot comprehend why the Biden administration would not extend the August 31 deadline thus leaving American citizens, SIV holders, and Afghan allies behind to a terrorist Taliban regime.”
Not to nit pick at this person. But if Biden had just continued Trump’s plan to be out in May, or e en after extending it to August had he took logical steps, none of this would have happened.
Mystery grows over black SUV in cornfield with 4 bodies inside, Wisconsin cops say
A cornfield in Wisconsin has become the setting of a grisly homicide investigation that bears more than a slight resemblance to a horror movie.
Four bodies were found in a “black SUV that was driven into a standing cornfield off of a rural road” and then abandoned, according to the Dunn County Sheriff’s Office.
https://www.bnd.com/news/nation-world/national/article254229133.html
The discovery was made Sunday afternoon in Sheridan in northern Dunn County, officials said in a Facebook post.
All four people in the SUV — two men and two women — died of gunshot wounds, officials said. They had been dead less than 24 hours.
The motive remains a mystery, and the investigation has yet to find anything linking the four people to the community, officials said at a Tuesday press conferece.
This announcement from Biden is nothing but a distraction from Milley. This administration goes from one distraction to another to attempt to put out fires.
