A herd of goats? Of course I've heard of goats...

A little white sheepdog unexpectedly became the hero of the day, stepping in to help first responders land a helicopter during an emergency in Orange County. The Laguna Beach Police Department and the Laguna Beach Fire Department personnel were called out for an emergency on Friday in the foothills, the department said in a post on social media.
While units on the ground worked to clear the trail so the helicopter could land, a pup in charge of a herd of goats - who were in the way - sprang into action to aid in rescue efforts. “The sheepdog stepped up and helped guide a group of goats out of the way so the units could work,” the post on social media read.
 

Drone footage captured video of the pup running ahead of the giant pack of goats and directing them out of the way so rescuers could respond.
At one point, a close-up shot captured the white pooch’s happy expression as he ran to the top of the hill with his tail wagging, bringing along dozens of little goats with him.

Do you have gout like I do?
 
Black cherry concentrate does one thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric
 Acid in your system - that's all it does. And it works better  than any drug any
 doctor can prescribe. If you have gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all.
 See for yourself if it doesn't work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.

What worse than a Flroida Woman Evangelist? A hottie with a big mouth on your plane, that's what...

An 'Evangelist influencer' (whatever the fuck that might be) from Florida was booted from an Alaska Airlines flight on Thursday after preaching to her fellow passengers during a take-off delay. Whitney Lynn, 40, filmed the bizzare scene on Alaska Airlines flight 708 out of Orlando International Airport in a series of Instagram videos, including the moment she was told she was apparently making crew members feel unsafe.
The San Diego-bound flight was delayed prior to take off, which is when Lynn, started to preach from the aisle of the plane. Unfortunately, no one from Newark was on the plane, so nobody had the balls to tell her to sit down and shut the fuck up. Too bad I wasn't there. They'da heard the wrath of God alright - from ME.
 

This is a tough time of year to fly out of Orlando. Planes can't take off if there is any lightning within 15 miles of the airport. This time of year, it's amazing any planes take off - especially in the afternoons and early evenings.

And the rich get richer in DodgerTown...

The average cost for a family of four to attend a Los Angeles
 Dodgers game is $413.16. This makes Dodger Stadium the most expensive experience in Major League Baseball.What the Cost IncludesAccording to data tracked by the Fan Cost Index, this total package covers: Four of the cheapest available tickets, One standard parking pass, Four hot dogs, Two small beers, Two soft drinks. Average Ticket Price: Roughly $78+ per seat for baseline inventory. Parking Pass: Around $45 at the gate.
This total is nearly double the overall MLB league average for a family of four, which sits closer to $225.
All that being said, what does it say about the Yankees? I'm sure they put together a great trade for the Tigers. In the end, he had to approve any trade, and he looked at the Yankees and thought, nah, my best shot at a series ring is in a Dodgers' uniform. Can't blame him, sadly. Juss' sayin'...

The 'remaking' of the Dimocrat Party will lead to disaster - and not just for them...

Their parents failed them. Their teachers failed them. And what do they want? They want to destroy this great country, one brick out of the wall at a time. The recently released platform for the Democratic Socialists of America is titled "Workers Deserve More" and it includes some proposals to 'ease cost of living for working families' that are popular among many progressives, such as 'free' healthcare and 'free'  pre-K.
"You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance," the platform’s website says, laying out its vision for American social democracy. "You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right." 
The platform, released July 14, drew widespread backlash from conservatives. Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson reacted to the platform calling it "communism" by "barbarians," while slamming the more radical policies like eliminating the U.S. Senate or having the president selected by Congress. 
 

How soon they forget. No history lesson is wasted on these pie-in-the-sky morons. No economics lessons, either. They live in a 'Eat the rich' world, not realizing that the rich pay for most, if not all, of the services they now receive. Utopia wouldn't even be good enough for them Nothing would be good enough for them. They are disrupters, and nothing more. And they're dangerous as fuck.





The times - they are a-changin', my friends...

Okay, so maybe the band last night didn't play this old nugget, but I wanna make a point. I moved to The Villages eleven years ago. As I've mentioned, one of the benefits of being here is that there's free, live music every night of the year in our town squares. It's a great way for people to get out, meet others, dance as if they actually knew how, and maybe have a couple of 2for1 cocktails at Happy Hour.
Anyway, when we first got here, we'd go to the square and the band'd be playing shit like Pat Boone, Neil Diamond (Sweet fuckin' Caroline every half hour), and country stuff that everyone could 'line dance' to. Not my cuppa tea, if ya get my drift.
Fast forwward to last night, me and the Babs meeting some friends at an outside bar facing the square. People were out dancing like they knew how, but the music was Journey, Kansas, Zeplin, The Babies, even Cat Scratch Fever ferfucksakes. I think the demographic scale has shifted just a bit. A welcome change, and the bands are a lot more polished - more practiced. Juss' sayin'...

Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico said Scripture requires the government to guarantee health coverage, telling a Texas church crowd that the New Testament makes a public health insurance option a Christian obligation.
 
Talarico made the argument at a town hall he held at a DeSoto church on July 20, footage of which his campaign posted Saturday under the title “James Talarico Unveils Plan For Black Voters.” The Austin Democrat argued the country should “finish the work of President Obama” and pass a public option, then grounded the pitch in the Gospels.

Hey - this ain't no DIY Psycho-therapy, but it's easy as fuck to figure out what's wrong with them. First and foremost, 'social' media has made them less social, focusing their attention to tiny screens instead of the babe with the nice rack and cute smile at the end of the bar. Covid nonsense got them used to isolation. More-masculine-then-them women demasculate them, and the girls are either fat-shamed or so covered with idiot tats that they become unapproachable and uninteresting. Fuck, they can't even tell if that cute girl at the end of bar usta be one of the guys in his gym class.
I could go on, but why bother. Who actually gives a fuck how disjointed GenX,YorZ'ers are, as long as they don't have access to automatic weapons...
...  

I gotta believe there's one or two of you out there who might not agree with the entire premise of that chart - I get it. The only problem I have with the whole equation is a simple one, and it's not based on religious beliefs or anything even close - it's just, what I think, is a legit question. If we evolved from monkees and apes, how come there's still monkees and apes out there? Ever think of that?

That's kinda where they were going with that whole 'home in their pajamas' thing, right? The amazing thing is that nearly 30,000 people who follow this gay guy liked it enough to 'like' it, although that's some kinda automatic reflex for these nimrods for when they kinda agree with something someone posts, which, again, points to their social disfunction. Juss' sayin'...

Friend of mine in Upstate New Yorl sends me this picture saying he took up a carpet in his newly-bought-but 100 year old farmhouse and found this under the rug. ]
I love him and all that, but I'm always somewhat skeptical of most of the shit he says, so I google-search the picture, because I thhink I saw it somewhere else once. Turns out it was in a house out in Fresno, California. THAT is exactly why I remain skeptical with whatever Stevie says...

Open Year-round...

 
The Sun and Star rooftop café atop the Senator Hotel in Atlantic City was open year-round. The photo taken January, 1948. Postcard is from the same era...
 
The "Sun & Star Roof" solarium at the Senator Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, featured rows of lounge chairs. The Senator Hotel was a 16-story Romanesque-revival hotel on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, operating from 1930 until its closure in 1998.
The rooftop solarium offered both indoor and outdoor decks with lounge chairs, sun lamps for tanning, and a lively bar. Guests often frequented this area wearing bathing suits, and the venue boasted of an "atmosphere of quiet cordiality" with views overlooking the ocean and beach.

Kamala Wordsalad - "Do as I say, not as I do..."

Originally Published by: Fox News - Despite a career-long commitment to combating racial disparities in housing and touting the importance of living among Black people, former Vice President Kamala Harris’ new California mansion is situated in a neighborhood with virtually no racial diversity.
Harris’ new 4,000-square-foot property, which reports indicate she acquired for $8.15 million, is located in the exclusive seaside community of Point Dume and includes ocean views, multiple wine fridges, private golf greens and enough parking to accommodate five vehicles.
 

Point Dume is situated entirely within Census tract 8004.08, which the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey estimated was just 0.2% Black and roughly 94% White as of 2019. Harris’ choice of neighborhood may surprise longtime observers given past comments she has made about the importance of living among other Black Americans.

California Big Macs will end up costing $ 40.00 each...

Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that California’s statewide minimum wage will increase to $17.40 per hour beginning January 1, 2027. The rate is higher than any current statewide minimum wage in the nation and nearly two-and-a-half times the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. The increase is already automatic under California law, which adjusts the minimum wage annually to keep pace with inflation.
 

Newsom, who is expected to run for president in 2028, contrasted himself against President Trump in announcing the increase. "For years, Donald Trump and Republicans have blocked efforts to raise the federal minimum wage while handing tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations," the governor said in a statement. "California has chosen a different path - one that rewards work, grows the economy, and puts working families first. We believe if you work hard flipping burgers, washing cars or pushing a broom, you deserve a decent paycheck. The hell with what a Big Mac or a car wash will cost"




Turns out, “crazy cat ladies” may not be so crazy after all...

According to a report, Researchers from the University of Lucerne in Switzerland surveyed more than 2,300 Swiss adults about their relationships with animals, finding that gender was one of several factors linked to how closely people connected with their pets. 
But the findings were not entirely warm and fuzzy. Despite the stronger bonds, researchers found no evidence that owning a pet automatically makes people healthier or happier. Pet owners reported poorer overall health and were more likely to smoke cigarettes (but it doesn't say why)than those without animals. Participants who said they received greater emotional support from their pets also tended to report more loneliness and lower psychological well-being.
 Researchers stressed that the findings do not mean pets are causing those struggles. People who already feel lonely or distressed may instead be more likely to rely on an animal for comfort and companionship.
 

The strongest bonds were reported among women, people who spent more time with their animals and those who interacted with dogs, all of whom tended to feel more attached to their pets and more emotionally supported by them. The findings suggest that the strength and nature of the human-pet bond reveal more than ownership alone.

And, in the end, idiots doing idiot shit always screw up - one way or another...

The boneheaded teen who jumped off San Diego’s famous Sunset Cliffs in a viral stunt detailed his brutal injuries. The 17-year-old boy, whose has not been identified, told Fox 5 he currently can’t walk without the use of a walker after the terrifying moment he hit the rocks.
“I slammed against the rock and I felt like paralyzed, and I couldn’t move,” he said. “My lungs were burning, my ribs were burning, my spine, it was the weirdest feeling it was just burning,” he added.
 

The teen suffered six compression fractures to his vertebrae and required nine stitches in his foot but said he did not need surgery. Even with the pain, he reminisced on how lucky he still is. “If I slipped a little bit more and I landed straight on that slab and not in the water, I would probably be paralyzed if not dead,” he said.
At some popint, when he finally got home from the hospital, I hope his old man - at the very least - smacked him in the back of the head. That is the very least MY father woulda done. And probably a whole lot more. Juss' sayin'...
