Watch it, Joe...







How to behave at the PigglyWiggly...


Number ten is my numero uno bitch about women - not nearly as much as men. Men will stand in the cashier's line with their stuff neatly aligned on the belt in the order they want them packed, and will either have cash in their hand or their wallet, ready to pay as soon as the cashier rings him (me) up.
Women, especially some of the more - shall we say obese - older women will watch the cashier fastidiously while they scan every item, pay very, VERY close attention to how the bagger puts her shit in the bags, and then, only after the cashier has done her magic, she will start digging through her over-sized bag. Not a purse - more like a fuckin' satchel - and start to systematically start producing 15 coupons, some rolled in to balls, some torn, some folded - ones that she will not unfold for the cashier, and then proceed to watch the cashier suffer through scanning every coupon, only to find out that five of them have expired, and all the others are for shit she didn't even buy. Then, and only then, will she start to take her food stamps, debit card and her little pain-in-the-ass change thing with the top-slot out and start counting out her change.
And I will always - ALWAYS - be right behind her in line. Never fails...

So - who is this Ilhan broad anyway?

 
The “real” name of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been revealed in a federal court filing with an identical surname to that of her ex-husband - and rumored brother. Prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as 
“Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” 
in a Wednesday filing in DC federal court, which officials and legal experts said was indicative of the evidence compiled so far in an immigration fraud investigation into the “Squad” rep. 
A source familiar with the investigation confirmed that Omar is not the congresswoman’s “real” last name, which was first reported by Fox News. It’s unclear what charges could result from her purported use of an alias.
 
So - I asked GROK to make me a video of 'Omar running in to a brick wall'. 
This was GROK's response:

Mama Mia, Padre - che cosa succede? (Kinda like 'what's up Doc' in Italian)

A defiant Italian priest gave the middle finger to a left-wing mob as they storm past his church during heated riots in Italy. Father Giannicola Maria Simone, 65, was standing outside his church in central Milan as hooded protesters swarmed nearby and started to gesture towards the congregation.
The priest said he had been watching the chaos unfold from inside the Church of Sant’Alessandro di Zebedia when he saw crowds moving closer.
The surrounding streets of Piazza Sant’Alessandro were quickly packed out with lawless demonstrators. Father Giannicola rushed outside and ushered anyone stranded nearby inside the church where they would be safe.
The hero priest gave shelter to dozens of tourists and locals as well as his usual crowd of churchgoers in northern Italy. As he was beckoning people in from the church steps, a group of several young protesters stormed past with one showing the middle finger to Father Giannicola.
The holy figure responded by returning the gesture. Father Giannicola said the viral footage was his genuine reaction and he had no idea he was on camera at the time. He told local media: “As these young people were passing, someone showed me the middle finger. They are young, so I am not surprised.

Ain't no game ever worth this kinda money...

 And besides, aside from 'homers', who gives a fuck about 
the Rays and the Brewers (yawn)...
Check out the price on the seats behind home plate. That's over 
$ 7,500.00 for two seats in an area where no one ever sits, because the seats come with some bullshit Sky Lodge something or other where they can drink for free.
The cheapest ticket for Game 1 of the 2026 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers currently ranges from $2,350 to $2,580 for Standing Room Only (SRO) entry on secondary ticket marketplaces. 
If you want an actual reserved seat at American Family Field for the opener on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 8:00 PM EDT, prices begin around $2,589 to $3,167. - in Milwaukee, a real tourist spot if ever there was one. TWO GRAND TO STAND.
Baseball's days as the 'All American Game' may be over and done with. I may - or most likely not - watch the higlights the next morning. That's just me...

Waking up the folks...








I hate this country. That's why I'm here...

 
“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar whined that she is living “paycheck to paycheck” as she faces scrutiny from the Trump administration over her financial disclosures that previously indicated a net worth of up to $30 million. Omar, who is reeling from a raid on her DC home by the feds last week as part of a probe into the legitimacy of her citizenship, billed herself as a working-class plebe. “Working class, I guess, like paycheck to paycheck, still,” she told MS NOW’s Chris Hayes in an interview that aired yesterday.
“We’ve got four kids, and we live, I think, like a basic life. I have a Toyota Camry that’s from 2016.”
Last year, Omar’s financial disclosures raised eyebrows. The bulk of her assets were held by her husband, Tim Mynett, including holdings in a since-shuttered winery, eStCru, valued between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, and his venture capital firm Rose Lake Capital, valued between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 by the end of 2024.
All you have ever heard this ungrateful POS do is bitch about the country that took her in - and even that may have been dodgy at best. Her ass is in the crosshairs now, and her time in the limelight may be short - as in 'Next stop, Somaliland, Bitch' The real question is, if - and when - she does get her substantial butt thrown out, will her oh-so-faithfull hubby Tim go with her? Better than even money says no fuckin' way, Jose. He'll stay here and write a book or something equally insipid. Juss' sayin'...



Clap on, clap off.

Having lived in the Virgin Islands for as long as I did - well over ten years - I can get along just fine without electricity all day, every day. Reality was,  the power'd flip on and off there on a daily basis, and, like in the case of post-Hurricane Marilyn, we were without full power for ten weeks before it was fully restored. 
As it happened, at that time I actually owned three generators - we used them at jobsites alot. I kept the best one at my house and the other two went off to repair jobs. I only needed to run it for about three hours a day to do everything we needed - not the least of which was to make as much ice as possible and hot water for bathing.
So, long and short of it, when most people around here freak when the power goes out, it's not that big a deal for me. Juss' sayin'...

When the power goes out you can still 
charge your phone super fast.
And it's also a flashlight.

Are people not voting out of disgust?

Municipal elections scheduled for early November continue to register historically low voter turnout in communities across the country. Races for mayor, council, trustee and ward positions determine critical local policies on property taxes, zoning, transit and public safety, yet participation frequently dips below 30 percent. The outcome affects every resident through decisions made by officials who control budgets and bylaws with immediate impact.
Municipal contests routinely draw far less attention than national or provincial campaigns. Media coverage remains limited - if not non-existent, candidates often lack name recognition, and voters cite confusion over multiple overlapping local races. The result is a cycle where low turnout reduces perceived legitimacy of winners while discouraging future engagement from both candidates and the public. 
I went and did the early-voting thing yesterday morning, and you'd never know there was a lack of interest in my town, although there was only one local amendment to be voted on. Mostly it was Governor, Senator and constitutional amendments on the ballot.

I don't know if it actually is, but I like the sentiment...

After a point, we all get sick and tired of this endless bullshit from these fringe wackjob groups. Now, Chick-fil-A is facing renewed backlash from LGBTQ publications after CEO Andrew Cathy declined to give a direct answer about LGBTQ rights during an October 14 interview on NBC’s Today show. Out Magazine (seriously?) columnist Josh Ackley urged readers to stop eating at Chick-fil-A, even publishing an article titled, “Don’t eat at Chick-fil-A. And don’t sleep with anyone who does.”
LGBTQ Nation ( a bullshit frringe website nobody ever heard of) also criticized Cathy for refusing to give a direct answer. During the interview, Cathy emphasized that Chick-fil-A focuses on serving great food and welcoming all customers.
“Everybody that’s willing to walk in the door, they’re welcome to come eat with us. We would love to give them a great-tasting sandwich and great hospitality,” Cathy said.
The Christian-founded restaurant chain has faced LGBTQ boycotts before, largely because of its past support for traditional marriage and donations to Christian organizations. Out Magazine’s latest call to avoid Chick-fil-A comes despite the CEO’s public statement that everyone is welcome to eat at its restaurants.
Evidently, a blanket 'welcome' that involves every living person on the planet Earth is not enough for these liberal sociopaths. They want their welcome carved in pink soapstone and delivered via Fairy Express to their bedsides, tucked in a fucia ribboned velvet package. Fuck 'em all. The food there is too good for them anyway. Juss' sayin'...

Don't you find it a bit humorous that these people, dressed as they are , hoisting ludicrous signs and chanting nonsensical verse, all want to be taken seriously? 
I mean, seriously, who gives a fuck what they think, anyway? Look at the one guy holding the 'Deport Trump' sign. Now there's a guy you want to take political advice from, isn't he? Jeez friggin' Louise already. Enough, people - go home and watch your soaps ferfucksakes...

Every one of these loonie lefties would be found to be as duplicitous as this one portrayed in the panels. That is, of course, if anyone gave enough of a fuck to bother to explore their lives beyond whatever momentary vision they choose to protray for whatever bizarre, bullshit cause their fighting for - or against.

 Donald Trump refused to say whether he would endorse JD Vance in 2028 in an awkward exchange in front of the media. Trump praised the vice president as a very talented person but said it was too early to think ahead to the 2028 presidential election. Trump shook his head when presented with the question, telling the media gathered in the Oval Office on Tuesday, “Well, I’ll tell you this. He’s a very talented person, and he’s a very good person, but we’ve literally, I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Wednesday called allegations that she married her brother “insane” – but didn’t entirely close the door to the possibility of being related to her ex-husband.

“Not to my knowledge,” Omar responded, when asked by MS NOW’s Chris Hayes if there was any “weird kernel of truth” to the claim that she wed her brother.

That gray Spanish moss hanging from Florida's oaks used to be money. Real money, by the trainload. Old photographs from Central Florida show a whole industry most people have never heard of. Pickers pulled moss from the trees with rakes and long hooked poles, and a strong worker could gather close to half a ton in a day. Fresh moss sold cheaply, but cured moss brought a much better price, so the real work came next.
The moss was piled up and kept wet so the gray outer layer would rot away, leaving a tough, springy black fiber inside. Curing could take anywhere from two to six months. The fibers were then hung over fences to dry, run through a simple gin to clean them, and pressed into 250 pound bales that were shipped out by rail. Towns like Inverness had moss mills right by the train station.
All that fiber ended up stuffed inside mattresses, pillows, furniture, and car seats across America. During World War II, most of Florida's crop went into seat padding for military vehicles. Then synthetic foam arrived, and by the 1950s and 1960s the moss gins were shutting down one by one.

The road less travelled...


The main point of M. Scott Peck’s classic 1978 book The Road Less Traveled is that life is difficult, and true emotional and spiritual growth requires embracing - rather than avoiding - pain, suffering, and personal responsibility. 
Peck opens with the not-so-bold statement that 'life is hard'. Most human suffering comes from trying to avoid the natural pain of solving problems. To navigate life's challenges, Peck outlines four practical disciplines:
Delaying gratification: Scheduling pain and pleasure in a way that enhances life by meeting problems head-on.
Accepting responsibility: Owning up to our own problems rather than blaming others or society.
Dedication to truth: Constantly revising our internal mental "maps" of reality to remain open and honest.
Balancing: Holding competing needs, goals, and responsibilities in a healthy equilibrium.
It was actually half a cock of shit, but, like any other 'self-help kinda nonsense, it did actually have a couple of decent ideals - and ideas - in it...


Under $ 10.00 - very reasonable. I own two.
