Just surfing around, reading about each of the Biden admin’s failed ‘last public appearances’. I came across an AP photo I assumed was photoshopped; it shows Michelle Obama writ large - I mean she is more massive than I thought when photographed beside Kamala - both of them are behaving like stupid children for the camera, and both are wearing the same height shoes. Obama is slightly in the foreground, but not enough to explain the size disparity. I think it’s likely that pics usually show Michelle next to other tall people.
Michelle is a little over 5’ 11”; I don’t think I ever realized that. Harris is a little over 5’ 4”. But still, the difference in size gave me pause.
There is a absurd little article in which Kamala said reports that she is only 5’ 2” are ‘misinformation.’ Katie Couric laments that she too is often falsely reported to have less height than she does. And there’s this little ‘gem’.
“Katie mentions that the internet also lists her as shorter than she actually is. Kamala sympathizes, saying, “It’s like literally, they just wanna make us smaller in every way than we are.”
Kamala never had to accept that we didn’t like the refuse that fell out of her mouth when she stood behind a microphone; in the cramped confines of her mind, “....they just wanna make us smaller in every way than we are.”

For my own part I don’t get a pension. I’ve been a tax exempt Muni fund guy for decades. Got sick of paying big taxes in the 60’s and started saving toward a no-tax end. The only time in the past couple decades that I got knicked for a bit of tax was when I sold a property-—and done good.
audio on posted video starts with “final countdown”.
So...It’s the final countdown.
Article on CNN I read repeatedly mentions the deep state is outraged that Curran has never been a member of the SES and only longstanding members of the SES are supposed to be picked for such roles. I like Bongino but I think Trump made the right choice.
And that image I posted should be his official photo for the walls of the several offices throughout the US.
My thoughts wander to which badass muffichers will he appoint to take his place?
Any chicks?
“Let’s hope they put it up quicker than they did the last time.
In the 2 VA places I go, it took forever to remove Pres. Obama’s photo.
Then they first put up a photo of Pres. Trump with a frowny\mad face.
Took forever to replace that with a smiley faced photo.”
Same for me. I gave “Slow Joe” the finger when I went by.
As a highly experienced alphabet guy he (Bongino) will always be a good source for Trump. But he’s buried way too deep in radio to step sideways back into a gummint job. And I expect the Limbaugh rule is in effect——couldn’t afford the pay cut?
Here’s a possible answer regarding the 1798 Alien and Seditions act and if we are in an undeclared war.
This is an excerpt from a Derek Johnson article.
The ONLY President who has federalized the National Guard recently is President Trump on March 27, 2020, with Executive Order 13912. There has been ZERO Executive Order to revoke that.
That was a DIRECT ORDER via the Commander-in-Chief to the National Guard in a time where there was a Biological Chemical Threat to the Nation plus Laws were not being enforced, therefore he could invoke Title 10 plus suspend the Constitution as written in Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2.
He also signed Executive Order 13919 on April 30, 2020, which DIRECTED (Direct Order) the Secretary of Defense equal authority to Federalize the Selected Reserve to Active-Duty.
Those are both DIRECT ORDERS from the CIC. There’s enough evidence with the Biological Chemical Threat plus the Continuity of Operations Publications paired with the Title 10 and Title 50 invocations to safely say the series of Executive Orders are part of a PEAD.
Presidential Emergency Action Document which is a draft classified document that expands the Powers of the President.
Here is an interesting podcast with Derek Johnson and Brad Wozny discussing possible future events. Also info on how Canada is a corporation along with the US.

Well, we got better raises during the first couple of inflation years. Unfortunately, those better raises were nowhere near the increase in prices of items like food and energy (thanks, Joe).
And, of course the government has a knack for understating inflation by including odd items in their "basket of goods" used to show price changes at the consumer level. I don't know about y'all but I have never been up to eating a hard drive or a stick of memory.
I don't know what all they include in that calculation these days, but food, clothing, energy, and shelter play a much smaller role than they should.
My last raise, effect October 1, was quite lame, but I think it's because they knew I was leaving. At our place, the manager is given a set amount that he can divvy up among the employees. And the younger guys got a better piece of the pie this time around. But, last laugh laughs best - somehow, in a benevolent glitch of fate, I somehow became eligible for the VRIF severance pay despite leaving before it was to become officially effective. I did not ask why - I stayed the required 5 extra days and will be enjoying a reasonably decent lump sum in a few weeks.
I did have to buy my own retirement watch though. They don't hand those things out any more.
I’m going with It’s the... Calm before the Storm.
