Let's play a game of 'Name that tool' with AOC...

Speculation is swirling over whether Democrat 'darling' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has quietly split with her longtime beau Riley Roberts - following her public announcement this week that she was freezing her eggs to feel “more in control of my life.”

The “Squad” star, 36, who got engaged to Roberts in April 2022, has been spotted in recent months without her engagement ring and it was noticeably absent in May when the pair was photographed together at a Manhattan burger joint. She also carefully chose her words when asked this week by a reporter about her choice to freeze her eggs and whether her “fiancé was supportive of it.” “All of my loved ones have been very supportive,” she said.

Breakup rumors have spread among the Democrat party, with more than a few insiders speculating that they split because of her ambitions to seek higher office. He thinks she might get elected, and he doesn't want to be 'First Gentleman'. That has to be it. Hey - hopefully the guy got to play with those cans before gravity kicks in. 

Juss' sayin'...

Let's go back to the 9th century, they said. It'll be fun, they said...

Talk about 'Little dick syndrome'... Can anyone tell me why these people are the way they are?  Five years after Joe Biden allowed the Taliban to 'reclaim' Afghanistan, 2.4 million girls remain locked out of secondary school, wiping away decades of progress and leaving a generation of young women without access to the classroom.

Afghanistan is now the only country in the world that formally prohibits girls and women from receiving an education beyond the primary level, according to UNESCO, which issued a new call Tuesday for the “immediate and unconditional” restoration of their right to education.

The only way this makes sense is if  the Cooran tells men to keep their women folk 'young, dumb and full of cum'. There is no other way to explain the absolute subjugation of women, some of whom would be killed just for showing their faces. I mean, damn, they may be ugly, but that's a bit harsh, isn't it? Juss' sayin'...

It's lightning season, that's for sure...

 

A golfer in Ohio is lucky to be alive after he unknowingly recorded the wild-ass friggin' moment he was struck by lightning last Friday. Chris Schiavone was golfing with his pals at the Pebble Creek Golf Course near Cincinnati when a thunderstorm rolled through the region and caused the group’s golf cart to get stuck in the muddy conditions.

Schiavone had pulled out his phone to film his buddies struggling to free their bogged buggy. But he ended up capturing the moment a lightning bolt hit his arm and knocked him to the ground. Following the strike, Schiavone said he temporarily lost feeling throughout his body and his hearing was impacted.

Schiavone posted the now-viral video of the harrowing strike to social media, which has amassed over over two million views amid a barrage of criticism. “1 in 1,000,000 they say,” Schiavone wrote, adding that he is “very lucky and blessed” to be alive after that crazy shit. He said "I just wanted to goof on my buds when they were stuck in the mud. What the fuck, man?".

If you work hard for 35 or 40 years, you may end up getting, on average, less that $ 1,850.00 per month from Social Security.

A Mexican - or some kinda gang banger - sneaks in to our country and was receiving nearly $ 3,850.00 a month - including free, secure housing - in benefits. Tell me how that makes sense, Mr. Biden. That is, if you can still form a sentence any more. I'll wait over here...

Sure - fuck around with AI they said. It'll be fun they said. It's fuckin' creepy, dude. I sent ChatGPT one of my profile pics from Facebook - the one on the left -  and asked it to make me a bobblehead. It gave me the one on the right. 

Coupla things worth nothing. It captured the shirt, the hair and the goofy toothy smile okay, but somehow, it put a drink in my hand and changed the hat I had on. And the hat it changed it to is a hat that I own, but obviously not on my head in the original pic. 

How the fuck did it know that? Tell me again that shit ain't fuckin' creepy. I'll be over here with some weird-ass fuckin' green girlie drink in my hand...

This is an award-winning photograph by Belgian photographer Alice Smeets, shot in the impoverished Cité Soleil slum of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This powerful image won the prestigious UNICEF Photo of the Year Award in 2008.

It depicts a young girl wading through polluted standing water and debris alongside pigs in Cité Soleil, one of the largest and most densely populated slums in the Western Hemisphere.

The photographer sought to document the stark reality of extreme urban poverty while highlighting the resilience, dignity, and spirit of the children living within these challenging conditions.

Growing up as I did - in a big city, and not having a new bicycle of my own until I was around 20 - it may not be the same with you than it was with me. Every bike I ever had either came as a hand-me-down or came from the NPD's impound of stolen shit that my Father woulda got for me at work.

If I knew a kid who had a bike like this, the kid was 100% guaranteed to be a complete jerkoff, my parents wouldn'ta liked his parents, and the kid probably woulda grew up to be gay. Juss' sayin'...

Yeah - we make fun of the Dimocrats - maybe because they're such easy targets, but hey, the Republicans really aren't that far behind 'em. Having the President and the majorities in both the House and the Senate and these limp-wristed, do nothing motherfuckers can't get shit done? Almost make ya wanna lose faith in the system or something, don't it?

It's not a can of peas...

This is a fairly typical thing  here - although I've seen them in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. We call 'em 'canopy streets'. The trees are Grand Oaks that throw limbs and branches out the sides to create the canopies. 

There's one Grand Oak in my neighborhood that they built a road around rather than cut the tree down. One of the tree guys I know in my neighborhood estimated that that tree is 400 years old. At the trunk it's probably 15' around. Imagine that - a tree, a living thing - that predates our country. Fascinating stuff...

Rockshore - an 'Irish Lager' - was introduced a few years ago to 'target the mainstream refreshing lager market' - it has a crisp, clean taste with subtle malty sweetness and a gentle, dry finish. It is without question my favorite beer in the entire world.

 It is rarely distributed in the United States and is not part of Diageo’s standard US import lineup. While specialized beverage locators like Wine-Searcher occasionally index regional specialty shops, finding physical stock in regular US stores is extremely difficult - if not just plain impossible.

It's brewed at St. James's Gate in Dublin - the historic industrial home of the Guinness Storehouse, founded by Arthur Guinness in 1759. Originally a medieval western gate to the walled city of Dublin, it evolved into the world's most iconic stout brewery and a major cultural landmark. 

Diageo is a British multinational alcoholic beverage company and the world’s largest producer of spirits and beers. It was formed in 1997 through the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan. Headquartered in London, it sells over 200 brands in nearly 180 countries.

Granted, it was in the March 1972 issue of Playboy...

Tommorow night is gonna be pretty spectacular...

Swaths of Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland and Northern Spain will be treated to a cosmic triple-whammy Wednesday as three celestial phenomena converge in a rare display that could both brighten and darken the Atlantic sky. 

A total solar eclipse, a planetary parade and the Perseid meteor shower’s peak will all be visible on the same day across a fairly wide corridor stretching from northeast Greenland, to the western reaches of Iceland and almost straight across Spain. The phenomenon will also be visible to anybody floating across swaths of the Atlantic Ocean and even an uninhabited region of Russia.

I called my sister-in-law to see if they were going up to the cottage to watch it and she said they were too busy, and besides, they were waiting for me to get there next week before going up to the country. Damn, I wish I was there now to see it all. Oh, well. Wuddya gonna do. Normally, we'da been there this week, not next. Shit happens And yeah - take this as an early notice. The blog posts'll be a little slim while I'm gone. Juss' sayin'...

Almost sounds like a 50's SciFi flick, don't it?

Health officials along the Gulf Coast have issued urgent warnings to beachgoers as the death toll from a flesh-eating bacteria in warm coastal waters continues to rise. With at least seven fatalities already confirmed this year between Louisiana and Florida, and dozens more infections reported across multiple states, authorities are pressing residents and tourists alike to take the threat seriously.

Vibrio vulnificus is a species of bacteria that thrive in seawater and brackish water during the warmest months of the year, and can enter the body through even the smallest cuts, scrapes, or puncture wounds. Once inside, Vibrio vulnificus can destroy tissue, trigger septic shock and kill within a day or two if not treated immediately.

 

As summer draws more people to the beach and water temperatures climb to ideal levels for bacteria to proliferate, officials are stressing that awareness and quick action could mean the difference between life and death.

So, he pulled a little 'switcheroo'. So what...

Hey - can you blame the guy? The Daily Mail, along with many other news sources, reported on his smart little move. Trump told the press there were no problems, despite being secretly smuggled off the older Air Force One inside a catering truck in a covert operation to foil potential Iranian assassins. Returning from a NATO summit in Turkey, the President was bundled off the jet in Ankara and loaded onto a separate military plane bound for the UK, according to The Washington Post. The truck was seen in one video being lifted to the level of the jumbo aircraft for a few minutes.

Trump had originally flown to Turkey on the $400 million Qatari–donated 747–8. But as the summit ended, he publicly announced he was ditching the new jet to board an older Air Force One model for 'old times' sake'.

After being filmed boarding the jumbo in Ankara, the secret swap was executed, where he transferred to the military plane. Moments later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth casually strolled up the regular stairs to board the C–32A aircraft on his own – a move designed to make the decoy flight look routine to any watching eyes.

 

The intricate scheme hoodwinked those on board, leaving unsuspecting journalists and even some senior White House staffers in the dark as they flew on the 'decoy' Air Force One flight. Yet after being snuck back onto the main jet, surrounded by unsuspecting press at 11.31pm, at a UK base, Trump completely dismissed any threat. Asked if a security concern forced the move to the older AF1 model, the President delivered a simple two - word response: 'No issues.' 

Personally, I think it was pretty fuckin' slick, but hey - who are we to judge? 

We're not the fuckin' media. Let them be judge and jury...

But it musta been fun to watch...

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner shared one of Hollywood's most explosive, passionate, and turbulent romances. They married on November 7, 1951, just 72 hours after Sinatra's divorce was finalized, and remained an iconic, tempestuous pairing until their official divorce in 1957.

They first met at a club when Gardner was married to Mickey Rooney, and began a passionate affair in Palm Springs while Sinatra was still married to his first wife, Nancy - they married in Philadelphia just days after Sinatra's divorce. In '57, they separated amid intense media scrutiny, career shifts, and heavy public and private volatility, finalizing their divorce that year. Their relationship was fueled by heavy drinking, jealousy, fiery fights, and deep devotion. 

 

Despite splitting up, they remained close friends until Gardner's death in 1990. Sinatra quietly paid for medical travel later in her life and reportedly sent yellow roses to her home every year on her birthday.
