Nobody is that stupid .... surprise, the voters of Chicago are!!!!! Let's go Brandon, the new Chicago cheer, does not refer to Slow Joe but to the new Chicago Mayor. The new Mayor has vowed to reduce school class sizes ... they will be reduced because of the number of children shot and killed on the way to school. Not to worry, Social Workers will be on the murder scenes to help relatives handle the deaths and assist in getting the organ traffic paperwork signed. Be assured that although your children will be guaranteed to graduate, they will not be...

So I just saw the Trump commercial re: Desantis. He accuses Desantis of wanting to cut Medicare funding among other things. All dark and foreboding in black and white (of course). And here's my favorite part: "Desantis even voted to raise the retirement age to 70"!! Anyone even halfway responsible who looks at the Social Security trust fund numbers knows the retirement age will have to be lifted. Americans are living longer. There's no other option. Well, there is one other option -- raising SS taxes and/or raising or eliminating the income cap. Both Democrat solutions. Of course Trump has...

My question: How secure is the U.S. supply of psychotropics in the face of major disruptions? Here, I'm referring to issues of supply chain--and also major economic upheavals (war, hyperinflation, etc.). I'm having problems finding current sources. Also--understandably-- more focus is on disease-fighting drugs; but I'm afraid a sudden crash in psychotropics could be much more serious than expected.

Ok, just a thought. What would be the fallout if Biden decided to pardon Trump? From reading several liberal rags today I can detect a bit of unease on the left at this indictment of Trump. There are so many possibilities ahead if this is actually allowed to play out. Local prosecutors and DA's around the country will fill the courts with charges against former Presidents.

December 23, 2022 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called out former President Donald Trump’s dwindling political influence and vowed that the Republican Party will not accept his preferred candidates in 2024. “Here’s what I think has changed: I think the former president’s political clout has diminished,” McConnell told NBC News, taking a shot at the 76-year-old former commander-in-chief. The Senate GOP leader, in the Wednesday interview that was reported Friday, added that (he) will “actively look for quality candidates” for the 2024 primaries

Let me see if I’m getting this straight… We now have banks failing to the tune of hundreds of billions, while we borrow to spend untold billions to protect another nation’s border (and their pensions), while thousands bum-rush our own southern border daily. Wealthy nations moving away from the dollar, while wealthy investors’ fund are protected (and we pay for it). All this while still being mandated in some circles to take a chemical that is proven to have adverse side- affects; with no investigations on numerous ‘incidents’ happening to our infrastructure, holding political prisoners, open threats to media who...

I've been posting a series of J6 videos over the past few years that show abnormal incursions into the Capitol that were atypical of MAGA followers of President Trump. One of them was of a group of long-haired youths wearing gas masks who entered a room through a broken window, and were being given orders through the window by a woman with a bullhorn.See that video here at this link.While searching through my posting history to locate this video, I came across prior posts where the HTML appears to have been altered, removing the actual link to the video and...

Massive Toilet Paper Shortage Seen at the Super Bowl

What got me thinking about this is...I conduct inspections at gas station/convenience stores. Exxon,Mobil,Chevron,Texaco,Marathon,Shell,etc... Today at two sites, the workers were from Kenya, Africa. Their accents sounded very British to me. But heres the thing..('the thing'..oh crap)...no seriously they were all very intelligent and professional. Well spoken. Respectful. Very pleasant people. They came off in a way that reminded me of graduate students. I was stuck by how much I was caught off guard. One gal told me that the Kenyan Gov't was ruled by the British until recently. She actually knew gov't history of her country! Now...the black (american)...

Just watching Real America's Voice interviewing Steve Gray, boss at the FBI of Charlie McGonigal, the Russian spy in the FBI who was a liberal Democrat and very close friend of Peter Stroek and Christopher Wray. Steve Gray stated that this guy is the tip of a many cases. He says absolutely Charlie will flip against Stroek and Wray

Will the Real Anti-Christ Please Stand Up?Matthew 7:6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if...

The Hill predicted Sunday that Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis will secure the 2024 GOP presidential nomination with former President Donald Trump as the runner-up contender.DeSantis was picked as the top candidate for his double-digit reelection during the midterms and what The Hill calls "his embrace of culture war issues and his opposition to COVID-19–related lockdowns." Explaining why Trump was ranked as the second most likely 2024 nominee, the outlet said: "Trump would have been the runaway favorite had these rankings been drawn up the day before the midterm elections. Since then, virtually everything the president has touched has turned...

Ants are sweet, nutty little insects, aren't they? I'm not talking about their personalities, but how they taste. Stinkbugs have an apple flavor, and red agave worms are spicy. A bite of tree worm apparently brings pork rinds to mind. This information will come in handy for those of us following the latest recommendation from the United Nations: Consume more insects

UK police have resorted to new technology to police in accordance with the Public Spaces laws. Police have hired 1500 mind readers to assist the police. In the initial test, mind readers accompanied police on their rounds and arrested 100 individuals for violations of the Public Spaces laws. Accuracy of the mind readers was validated by the fact that 93 of the 100 arrested confessed during the month of their confinement before trial. The other 7 would have confessed but they unfortunately Died Suddenly before they could confess. Based upon this monumental success, the remaining mind readers will be deployed...

If I mention the Bruce Willis movie, "Die Hard" you probably know what I mean. What other movies are like this? One that comes to mind for me is the first Rocky film from 1976. Christmas not mentioned but the story takes place during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. There are Christmas movies trees and decorations in several scenes. There's also the classic Frank Capra movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". I could be wrong, but I don't think Capra intended that to be a Christmas movie but obviously it gets associated with the holiday with what happens at the end...
