Another Hunter cluster fuck up...

 Hunter Biden publicly crashed out over the spectacular collapse of his meme coin, ranting online about the “fuck up” that crushed four out of five investors but left one mystery trader nearly $1 million richer - a windfall the troubled former first son ignored.
Biden claimed the trouble began right after trading started Wednesday because the project’s market maker supplied far less liquidity than needed to handle the initial demand.
“There was a fuck up. The fuck-up occurred in the first 30 seconds of launching the coin, in which the market maker, for some unknown goddamn reason, only put in $5,000 of liquidity,” Biden said in the video posted on X just after midnight last night. “And the demand was through the roof.”
If this idiot sells the coins he himself owns - which he can't do for six months, maybe he'll make enough to put a dent in what he owes his lawyers and his baby Mama. Who the fuck would ever put any money behind this guy?





Waking up in a sink hole can't be fun...

A few years back, a Florida homeowner was asleep in his bedroom when the floor beneath him simply gave way without warning. A massive sinkhole opened directly under the house, and the ground swallowed the room entirely within seconds.
Emergency crews responded immediately, but the instability of the site made rescue efforts incredibly difficult and dangerous. The incident became one of the most widely reported sinkhole tragedies in Florida history, renewing conversations statewide about the unpredictable risks of building on the state's fragile limestone bedrock.
It's terrifying to think something like this can happen with almost zero warning at all. Would living in Florida - or anywhere else they appear - change the way you think about the ground beneath your home? 
To be honest, I never gave it any thought. Up until now...

Busting a move on the GWB...

A shirtless goofball was caught tweaking out on the bed of a flatbed truck as it crossed the George Washington Bridge - as bystanders desperately tried to warn the driver, according to wild video of the stunt.
Arnesia Crawford danced up, down and around the moving metal platform as it traveled across the upper level of the famed NYC bridge high above the Hudson River at around 11 a.m. on Sept. 3. The careless 28-year-old Fort Lee resident jumped up and down, grabbed his crotch and appeared to sing to passersby, according to the video posted to TikTok.
Crawford worked his way up near the truck’s cab, where he stood on the raised platform before he jumped back down to the main portion of the flatbed. The man then broke out into dance again as the roadside videographer drove past the dangerous street performance.
It wasn’t immediately clear how Crawford got onto the trailer or whether the truck driver was aware of the antics going on his vehicle.Port Authority Police arrested Crawford when the truck crossed the bridge at around 11 a.m. Crawford was removed from the trailer and hit with a slew of charges including aggravated assault, resisting arrest,  disorderly conduct and terrible dancing.

Did you know manatees had become this dependent on power plant outflows?  Florida's manatees have become so dependent on power plant warm water discharge that the planned closure of several coastal plants has become a genuine wildlife emergency. 
Florida manatees are cold-sensitive and cannot survive in water below about 68°F. For decades, they've gathered by the hundreds at coastal power plant warm water discharge sites every winter, having learned over generations that these spots provide reliable warmth. 
As older coastal plants are decommissioned, wildlife managers face the urgent challenge of providing alternative warm water refuges for populations that have never needed to find their own natural springs in winter.

Maybe it's because you ain't 'country' enough, jackwagon...

Jelly Roll has been completely shut out of the 2026 CMA Awards. The Country Music Association released its nominations Thursday, and one of country music’s biggest names of the last few years did not receive a single nomination in any category.
That’s a major turnaround from just a few years ago. Jelly Roll received five CMA nominations in 2023 and won New Artist of the Year. He followed that with three nominations in 2024, including Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. In 2026, however, the number is a big fat ZERO.
The shutout comes during a year when Jelly Roll has generated plenty of headlines outside country music. He recently stirred up controversy while guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and cracking jokes about President Donald Trump, including shots at Trump’s weight, physical fitness and approval ratings.
While Jelly Roll is sitting on the sidelines this year, other country stars cleaned up in the nominations. Ella Langley leads the 2026 field with nine nominations, Miranda Lambert follows with seven, and Kacey Musgraves has five.
For an artist who went from five CMA nominations in 2023 to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in modern country music, getting completely blanked in 2026 is certainly one of the bigger surprises on this year’s list.

Starting out with a singular thought...

Is Islam a religion or an ideology?
 
Islam is a religion that functions as a comprehensive ideology. It is not merely one or the other; classical Islamic sources treat belief, worship, law, politics, and social order as an integrated whole. It meets the standard criteria of a religion -  monotheism, but goes off the rails on other issues.
As an Ideology, Islamic doctrine also supplies a totalizing system that regulates public life far beyond private belief or ethics. Sharia is presented as divine law covering criminal penalties (hudud), commercial rules, family law, warfare, governance, and relations with non-Muslims.
Calling Islam “only a religion” understates the scope of its primary sources. Calling it “only an ideology” ignores the central place of worship, theology, and personal devotion. Accurate description recognizes both: a religion whose claims extend into ideology and governance
At the root of all of the unrest in the middle east is this religion/ideology warping sensibilities and fomenting hatred and wishing death for anyone non-Muslim. 
Helluva religion ya got there, Skippy

Vice President JD Vance was interrupted in his midterm convention speech on Thursday when a heckler waving a Mexican flag cut him off, screaming 'Free Palestine' inside the packed Dallas arena.

Vance addressed the breach, noting, 'what the people at home missed is that we just had a protester interrupting us and waving the Mexican flag.' He then spoke to the heckler, adding 'Well, my friend, if you love Mexico so much, get your ass over there! I'll buy you a plane ticket.'

I may have mentioned this before, but Babs is constantly chirping about buying a place high in the mountains somewhere and plopping a camper on it. All well and good - maybe in my next life I'll consider it, but for now... 
I have two friends who live near me who do exactly that - they both own small plots of land, and they live in campers. They may be theoretically mobile, but these guys ain't goin' no where. Both are bikers, but I think that's just a coincidence. 
If you're looking to fully commit to RV life and want to buy some land where you can park your home on wheels, you'll want to consider one of the states with the least restrictive laws. These include Florida, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and Oregon.  These states typically don't require special permitting and will pretty much let you mind your own business as long as you don't make any trouble. Just be sure to check the local statutes to make sure you're above board. 
Jalopnik has a great article on the States that don't allow people to live in their own campers on their own properties. It's here - guess how many of them are blue states...

Their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner made Roseanne's version sound like an aria from Tosca. Without question the single worst performance of that song that's everr been performed outside someone's basement. What an absolute embarrassment...

Meanwhile, on the wild Atlantic way...

 
 This is the Fanad Head Lighthouse. It's situated on the rugged coast of County Donegal, Ireland, on the Fanad Peninsula between Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay in County Donegal.
The cylindrical white masonry tower stands 22 meters (72 feet) tall. First lit in 1817, the current light station and tower structure date back to improvements finished later in the 19th century. It is a famous stop along Ireland's scenic Wild Atlantic Way coastal route.

I will not be posting anything related 
to the attacks on 9/11...


We will be bombarded seventeen ways to Saturday with saturation coverage of the anniversary. The day is very special to me - having watched it in person from the Jersey shore. I had friend who worked for Cantor who did not survive the attack. I think I'll leave it to others to tell the stories, if that's okay with you. I'm sure I can find something else for us to see and read about.
