Looking forward to 2028 already? Yikes...

DeSantis has made a concerted effort to keep in touch with the people who supported his presidential campaign, including donors and leaders in the early nominating states. Those close to him say he is actively considering how best to maintain his national profile and influence, including potential endorsements in congressional races. He is likely to start raising money for his political operation once again in the near future as well.
 

Donald Trump is still in the process of filling out the cabinet for his second term, which begins on January 20th, but it's never too early to look forward to 2028, as a new poll by Echelon Insights has revealed the early contenders to lead each major political party, with Kamala Harris and JD Vance as frontrunners for the Democrats and Republicans respectively.

 

Vice-president elect Vance, leads the Republican field with 37% of support among GOP and GOP-leaning voters, followed by former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in second and third positions. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis currently ranks fourth among Republican contenders with 8% of voter intent among party voters.

Are you one of those 'scientist' types?

In fact, the number is slightly higher. 27% of U.S. adults have no emergency savings, as of May 2024 polling — the highest percentage since 2020. People are working hard on their finances to little or no avail. A new Bankrate survey of 1,030 individuals finds that more than half of American adults (56%) lack sufficient savings to shoulder an unexpected $1,000 expense.

Around 35% of households earning less than $50,000 per year are living paycheck to paycheck, up from 32% in 2019. Higher-income households also report struggling, with around 20% of households with more than $150,000 living paycheck to paycheck.

How many times a day do you find yourself seeing something and saying 'What the fuck where they thinking?

Above is my graphic adapted from Breitbart. 

 

Some of this criticism emanated from Pakistanis, who could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw the hideously misjudged ad for their state carrier.

“Did the idiot who designed this graphic not see a PIA plane heading for the Eiffel Tower? One of Europe’s iconic landmarks?” gasped Omar Quraishi, a newspaper columnist and former media adviser to politician Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

 

This is the actual ad:

That's all, folks...

There are days - like today - when it's almost not worth 

talking about anything that's in the news...

...   

The alarmist nature of some people - especially those in the media - try to make any and every event they tell us about as 'the worst', 'the largest', 'the most destructive', etc., etc. Truth is, you have to take every single thing you see and hear with not one - but two grains of salt. "Believe half of what you see and less of what you  hear" - one of my father's favorite sayings...

Watch out for the falling Iguanas...

Falling iguanas are green iguanas that fall out of trees in Florida when the temperature drops below 40° F. This happens because iguanas are cold-blooded and can't regulate their body temperature in cold weather. When temperatures drop below the mid-40s, iguanas become cold-stunned and may fall from trees. They may appear dead, but they are still alive. 

 

Iguanas climb trees to sleep, but when they get too cold, 

they lose their grip and fall. Keep looking up!

Why do I do what I do here on the blog?

Being able to present what my wife creates is the best reason I have 

for doing this, and besides, what else would I do with all this free time?

Anyway, when you buy her gifts of the jewelry Barbara makes, you do three things:

You show your support for this blog, you get a great gift and you get it at a very good price.  Just click on that picture of some of her work to see what she has available today.

Can you name the single most despicable POS on TV today? Eight letters - I'll give you the first three: JOY...

Honest to god - if you know anyone who watches this show, please just smack the fuckin' snot out out 'em for me, willya? She is genuinely loathsome. It's frightening that there actually is some manner of market for the bile she spews. Case in point? She said this Tuesday:

“She says ‘I love our country.’ How do you love your country and support and normalize someone who was a convicted felon, who really wants to destroy our country, in my opinion. “I don’t understand how you say you love your country at the same time as you normalize this convicted felon, which I can say now every day.”

Disappointed in his superheroes?

A great addition to the Senate...

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced this morning he's appointing Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody as the next U.S. senator from Florida on Thursday, replacing outgoing Sen. Marco Rubio. DeSantis reiterated that Republicans in Congress must support President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda and “restore basic American principles.”

He said that his prime criteria for the appointment was someone who would work with Trump, vote against excessive spending and cut spending, who “understands” the troubling expansion of federal bureaucracy, and who supports intense measures to crack down on both illegal and legal immigration.

She has been a very effective AG for the state and will be a strong Trump ally in the Senate. Well played, Ron.
