There have been some terrible Sunday morning line ups but this one would be hard to beat.

As always, Maria is going to be slightly watchable but the rest, NFW.

I'll probably watch the Larry Elder segment, but my tolerance for TV talking heads has gone to near zero, even the ones that I used to watch, like Maria B.

• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank you RG for your fabulous pictures. Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

The New "Founding Fathers" of Afghanistan

It's been a horrible week in that most horrible hell of earth known as Afghanistan.

Twelve American soldiers died along with many Afghans from a suicide bomber.

First, yon three or four ladies and gems who read this thing, any culture that encourages people to strap bombs on their body to blow themselves up is a culture that belongs on the moon.  Further, women are not allowed outside with the company of a man or they may be hanged.  These people don't live in civilized communities....they live in TRIBES!

And, of course, we have the greatest US President with a son that belongs in the Taliban and that same President should no more be commander-in-chief than my dog.

Now these fine folk are going to be running Afghanistan as I laugh and ponder who is the new George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.

Fine, fine folk, all reporting directly to Satan.

Daily Short Bits

Short thoughts on life that pop into my head

So why does my dog smell her pee?  I have, of course, figured it out.  Every morning right after her huge morning pee, she then smells every blade of grass in the yard.  Since she so rigorously smells her own pee, she will know, or not, if another animal has been in her yard and peed.

--------------------------------------------

I am from Baltimore and thus eat crabs and oysters with gusto.  I also like fish, as a matter of course.  At age 71 I purchased some salmon from Schwann's frozen food delivery service.  Until then, I HAVE NEVER EATEN SALMON BEFORE!  It's delicious!  Why didn't someone tell me?

---------------------------------------------

I tried "Relief Factor" to rid myself of back and knee pain.  Huge capsules that you must take eight times a day.  Cost a fortune.  I ate what I bought and I will say that I didn't feel any worse.  But choking on those capsules and the cost is just not worth it.

--------------------------------------------------------

My arm is a tool to my cats.  When I am busy in the kitchen the bad cat will reach out and grab my arm that I stop fooling around and fix his food....use that "arm" thing he reminds me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Angry Birds", one of my favorite video games, now has a "World Health Organization" logo on the game.  Why?  Oh, I know....China must own the game because they sure own the WHO.

Review-The Hustler

https://abc.com/shows/the-hustler

"The Hustler" breaks the game show mold by featuring one player who secretly already knows the answers.

I do quite enjoy this show for the many dynamics built into the play.

It's basically a game show with Jeopardy like questions that wins money with the right answer.  The intriguing thing about this show is that out of six contenders who start the show, one is a "hustler" who pretends to be just another contender though he or she is the person on whom all the questions are based.

The Hustler's job is to fool the other players that he or she is NOT the Hustler, while the other players have to guess who is the Hustler.

I've watched a few episodes and enjoyed it.  But I have yet to guess correctly on who is the Hustler.

The game is structured so that money is won by either the Hustler alone, or other non-Hustler contenders can join and wrest the winning funds from the real Hustler.

THE FLY ON THE WALL

Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog.  I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation.  Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling.  I am, after all, only a fly.

Meeting About 2024 Election

I chanced to fly into what I thought was an empty room in the big white building the humans call their capitol.  To my surprise there were a long table filled with Democrat males and females, all of them arguing on how to win the next election.

"This effort to stop changing the election laws out of our favor is not working!" one lady I know as Nancy Pelozi.  "We got Texan representatives going to jail for trying to stop a vote on new Texan laws that will prevent immigrants from voting."

"My state is going to request medical slips to do mail in voting," another guy said, I recall him as a guy from California..

"Let's face it, we're going to lose the house in 2022 and likely the Executive in 2024.  Trump seems to have that election in the bag."

Suddenly one guy stood up and pounded on the table.  Everyone in the room stopped talking and looked to hear what had him so heated.

He leaned into the table and said, in a loud human whisper.

"Donald Trump will not be able to run in the 2024," he said in a loud whisper.

Human brows all around the table got furrowed.  

"Why?" somebody said in a low whisper.

"We've taken care of it," the table-pounder said.  With all using loud whispers everyone wanted to know how.

"We've done everything in our power to get that man the hell out of there.  We are going to do the only thing that we are sure will work."

With that the table-pounder sat down and took a deep breath.

Softly he leaned toward all the people sitting around the table and whispered the planned solution.

"He will be assassinated," the guy whispered.

Silence filled the room.  This fly knows that to assassinate someone is to kill them but it is illegal.

The table-pounder folded his hands and filled in the blanks.

"We've hired a suicide bomber who will set off during a Trump rally," he said.  "This way the killer will also be dead so he can't tell anyone.  And we will finally be rid of Donald Trump! I told you those suicide killers were valuable.  We will WIN the presidency in 2024 but you must not tell a soul."

Yes this fly heard the plan.  I don't know how to pass it on to the humans but the Democrats have finally found a use for the Taliban.

TIME FOR A SMILE

[capydick]

Not that I’ll be watching but how many attempts will Romney make mentioning Trumps name alongside Biden’s name in an attempt to tie him to this debacle?

[bray]

The Mourning Bray

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 (King James Version)

It is time for Senile Joe to resign and tried for treason. He is as useless as a facemask outside and killing nearly as many Americans as the Vax. If President Trump was guilty of treason for calling the Ukraine President to find out if the Biden crime family was a crime family, then what level of treason is supplying terrorists with eighty billion dollars of the finest and deadliest weapons on the planet.

Resigning in disgrace is not good enough for this level of treason, jail or a firing squad is the appropriate punishment. If this had happened during Civil War or even WWII days, there is no question he and his Generals would be looking at a gallows being built on the Capitol grounds. He is a disgrace to his title as he shuffles in for his daily excuse session and embarrasses the country more with his blaming everyone except himself. Imagine if he were a Repub during those pressers.

How can the Dems look at themselves in the mirror knowing thirteen and counting young Americans were slaughtered thanks to his incompetence and vitriol? He has put American soldiers in the most dangerous and indefensible position possible and is about to abandon up to ten thousand American citizens to be hostages for the most vicious terrorists on the planet. He absolutely lost the Trashcanistan war simply because he hated Trump so much, he could not use their method of leaving and had to do it his way which has been a deadly disaster.

Fire up the treason trials since America has never witnessed a bigger traitor in the history of this country. Whoever gave the order to leave in the middle of the night and abandon Bagram airbase needs to be brought up on charges of desertion if it was a General and treason if he were a civilian. Nobody in American history has put this many American lives in danger and not to mention allied and Afghani lives. Now it looks like a scene from Mad Max as it is every man for themselves and grabbing everyone they can before the Terrorists begin shooting down planes.

If there is a trial for treason perhaps America can find out if Barak is calling the shots or who actually is. Who made these incredibly horrific decisions and who is to blame for the needless deaths of these young Marines he stuck in the bomb blast? It is time to stop playing Trump was a bad man to the elites and find out who is running this fiasco? It certainly looks like Benghazi on steroids as you hang your military out to dry because the Harvard and Yale grads know the world better than the boots on the ground do. Hey Harvard, you are looking at what your navel gazing real results get you, an absolute disaster.

The only words America wants to hear from you Joe is, “It is with a heavy heart I come to you tonight to offer my resignation effective immediately.” Everything else is simply empty words, promises and more blaming everyone except yourself. The buck stops at the top and those soldiers and American patriots deserve to be with their families and friends and would be if you would have just let the Trump plan continue. You changed it so you take the blame, it is time to resign and begin the trials to find out who and what caused this massacre.

Joe Biden has always been Slow Joe, but now he is a threat to the safety of this country and has killed thirteen beautiful young Marines through his decisions. He is as useless as a paper mask on a bearded man and has to go.

Decisions have consequences anyway they certainly did under Trump and if by the Pelosi bar is set saying President Trump was a traitor then there is no question this is treason so begin the trials yesterday. There really is no question from the giving up the airfield, to giving your enemy weapons to handing a murder list of all the Americans and allies names and addresses to the Head Choppers, what were they thinking and who ordered these decisions?

America needs two questions answered by you President Biden: Cigarette? Blindfold?

Pray America Returns

[Alas Babylon!]

Regarding your accurate CNN cartoon: Remove the hair, and you’d have the perfect image of Brian Stelter!

[Fishtalk]

AB,

I don’t know where Alabama is in relation to Ida.

But I must remind to be careful.

Thing is turning into a cat 5.

Biden brings bad things to happen to America.

Right now he has the road outside my house all blocked as the dead soldiers are being welcomed by their families.

so sad.

[rodguy911]

Trump has the best security going,he will not be killed will be back and will save the nation.Besides try killing this guy:

[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks for posting directly, Bray. I think my FReepMail is broken.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, we’ve been getting rain but not so bad here.

It’s rained so much—all Summer—it smells of mold outside. We’ve only had a handful of hot, sunny days. Weird weather.

I am praying for the Louisianans and Mississippians. With Biden in charge, they’re really on their own.

[Diogenesis]

“Not that I’ll be watching but how many attempts will Romney make mentioning Trumps name alongside Biden’s name in an attempt to tie him to this debacle?”

How could Romsky even show up, given the copious buckets
of blood on his hands from this is sooooooooo many ways.

Answer: RomneyCARE wants HeelsUps job. .

[Alas Babylon!]

I know a lot of people wish he—not Biden—was in charge right now.

Whether they’re willing to say so out loud or not, we know they’re thinking about it!

[Alas Babylon!]

Yup. Linda on FTN and Ben sAsse on This Week (Without David Brinkley) makes it a Trifecta.

Notice Fauci on every week again. Didn’t this creep dodge a bullet on his email lying? He kept his head down a few weeks while the DNCMedia covered for him—now he’s back lecturing us all once more.

[DanZ]

Amazing to see so many RINOs out in the sunshine.

As for Larry Elder, the jury is still out. While hoping for a version of Trump, cannot discount a Schwarzenegger replay
