Was it really about our health? Or their control...

Figures such as former White House officials and various lawmakers (reported by outlets like Fox News and The National Desk) frequently criticized the administration in 2021 for implementing broad vaccine mandates for U.S. workers, federal employees, and healthcare workers (numbering roughly 17 million in the healthcare sector alone) while migrants crossing the southern border were not initially subject to a universal vaccine mandate. 

While unauthorized border crossings did increase significantly, federal policy evolved over time. Early in the pandemic, few migrants were expelled under Title 42 public health orders rather than being released into the interior.

By spring 2022, the Biden administration began offering and administering COVID-19 vaccines to migrants in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody who were processed under regular immigration procedures. Furthermore, legal permanent residency (green card) applicants have been required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to show proof of specific vaccinations.

None the less, the Biden Administration let nearly 20 million un-vetted foreigners in to this country, and, as of late, diseases we thought we had corralled are appearing in scary numbers.

A Ukranian guy miraculously escaped death by seconds as a Russian drone strike decimates a playground. CCTV footage showed the civilian cheating death as he ran away from the UAV just moments before it erupted into a huge fireball. The man can be seen turning and sprinting away as he sees a drone racing towards him. Just seconds later, the suicide device obliterates a section of the playground in Sviatopetrivske, near Kyiv, sparking a towering inferno.

The bystander appears to get away unharmed, having escaped death by a hair, as flames swallow trees and shrubs behind. Recorded on Wednesday, the footage comes amid an intensified period of Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities.

A voice of reason in Kamala's house? GTFOH.....

Emhoff has privately told people that he would prefer for his wife to 

stay out of the 2028 presidential race, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. However, people close to the former second gentleman expect him to be supportive if she ultimately decides to run, according to the outlet. 

Harris’ doubters extend beyond those living under the same roof as her. Some donors – uneasy about what Harris is planning on doing – have told her directly that a 2028 White House run would be “a long shot.”

The problem the Dims have is that the pool of other candidates is very shallow. The one surprise who could have even a reasonable chance at winnning is Shapiro from Pennsyltucky, and even he's shit the bed more than a few times this year. It might actually end up being a fun race to watch. Scary, but fun. Wait and see...

This editorial is a little late to the game....

In yesterday's morning's Post, opinon writer Karol Markowicz says this about something we all understad, that: "This year’s presidential election seems to be more divisive and personal - friendships fraying, families fighting and acquaintances going their separate ways - than in years past. And nowhere is that more apparent than on Facebook. Facebook isn’t for politics - or at least, it shouldn’t be. This is hard for people to understand because politics has otherwise permeated every part of our culture, so why not the most social of social media?

Musicians lecture from the concert stage, professors sidebar their opinions in class, religious leaders deliver whole sermons about presidential candidates from the pulpit. People assume it’s normal to agitate for a candidate no matter their job and post positive information about their pick and negative information about the other guy (or gal)."

Well, I hate to tell her, but she's about ten years too late - that horse's been outta the barn for a long time. I can't count the number of 'friends' (an aphorism for 'people I know') I've either gotten rid of - or got 'unfriended' by them for challenging their viewpoints. The art - the science - of reasonable discourse is gone. Dead and buried. Kinda sad, actually...

History repeating itself - sorta...

This screencap from my FB wall shows Hurricane Michael, a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane that made landfall in the Florida Panhandle near Mexico Beach on October 10, 2018 - exactly eight years to the day today.

 Isaias crashed into the U.S. Gulf Coast late last night as a dangerous Category 2 hurricane, hammering communities in Alabama and the Florida Panhandle with damaging winds, heavy rain, flooding and life-threatening storm surges.

The first hurricane of the Atlantic season made landfall near Destin, Florida, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. It had maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. 

The storm weakened to just below major hurricane status before it came ashore and by early Saturday was no longer considered a hurricane as its wind speeds continued to decrease.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom again called for invoking the 25th Amendment against President Trump, calling him "mentally ill" after Trump's remarks about Los Angeles and San Diego while discussing Iran at a Nebraska rally.

It is not the first time: in July Newsom called a Trump speech a "legitimate 25th Amendment moment." Republicans accused Newsom and other Democrats of a double standard after they defended Joe Biden amid questions about his age and cognitive fitness.

This guy lives in my neighborhood. It's a junker that he slapped together on an old truck chassis. It even has a bathtub in it behind the front seats. It's loud as fuck and cute the first time you see it. After that, it just gets more fuckin' annoying every time he takes it out of the garage, and I think maybe he thinks he's dyin' or some shit 'cause he's had it out a lot lately. Boys and their toys - wuddya gonna do, right?

Did you know back in the 50s you could go from Key West to Cuba on a bus? Back in the 50s, Duval Street in Key West wasn't nearly as bug-out fuckin' crazy as it is today. The town itself was still a thriving merchantile and trading town more so than just a tourist hotspot with fat gay guys running around in g-strings. 

I wonder what a turtleburger tasted like. In Key West they were a local food tradition from the 1950s and 1960s, when sea turtles were legally harvested and served in local schools and lunch stands. Turtle burgers cost around 20 cents during that era.

The sale and consumption of sea turtle meat ended nationwide after the U.S. instituted a harvesting ban in 1973 under the Endangered Species Act as sea turtle populations drastically declined.

Willie Nelson Endorses James Talarico in 

Texas Senate Race: 'He's a Good Man'

 Texas Democratic senatorial nominee James Talarico may be temporarily sidelined from the campaign trail, but his campaign has a surprising new surrogate: Willie Nelson. Nelson, the 93-year-old outlaw country legend with a sideline in leftist activism, posted a short video in favor of the upstart state representative and Presbyterian seminarian, calling him “a good man” and a friend. “Hi, this is Willie Nelson. I’ve gotten to know James Talarico,” Nelson said in the clip. “He’s a good man who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote, and vote for James Talarico,” he added.

There ya go. Take the word of nearly hundred-year-old stoner and vote for a guy who's personna non grata the last two weeks. Anybody seen him? Beuhler? Beuhler?

The amount of stupidity that was evidenced throughout that whole thing may never be replicated, and thank God for that. Problem is, though, we probably didn't learn a single fuckin' thing from it, and the people who were responsib;e for it have never been prosecuted...

Marionette busking...

 Marionette busking is a unique form of street performance where a puppeteer manipulates string-controlled puppets - often to live or recorded music - to entertain passersby in public spaces.

Famous Examples and Styles: The Beatles Tribute (Spain): Master puppeteer Felipe Ugarte performs on the streets of San Sebastián, Spain, using homemade Beatles marionettes that look and play along to classic tracks. Cello-Playing Marionettes (Hungary): Street performers in places like Székesfehérvár, Hungary, have captivated crowds with intricate string puppets engineered to mimic playing instruments like the cello. Jig Dolls & Limberjacks: Traditional wooden percussive puppets (also called busker's puppets) bounce or dance on a board as the performer taps a rhythm. Notable Puppeteers: Artists like Madison J. Cripps (founder of Cripps Creations) are widely known for bringing boisterous, character-driven marionette performances to outdoor venues and national puppetry events.

Key Gear & Setup for Busking

• Lightweight & Durable Sets: Stages and backdrops must be sturdy enough to handle sudden weather or wind, yet light enough to pack and travel with easily.

• Minimal Tools: Performers generally rely on a compact toolkit, portable audio (such as Bluetooth speakers connected to a phone), and carefully weighted string controls.

They got some kinda loonie candidates these lefties do...

Texas state representative James Talarico drew fresh attention again when these guys portrayed him confined in a padded cell and diagnosed with far left unhingedness. The image places Talarico amid graffiti promoting his hair-brained ideas about  six genders, transgender affirmation for children, claims that Jesus was a feminist, and assertions that God is nonbinary. Additional slogans urge fighting climate change and equate white men with domestic terrorists. 

This loon is running amid ongoing national debates over gender policies in schools, the scope of climate regulations, and rhetoric that frames certain demographic groups as inherent threats. Talarico, a Democrat known for uber-progressive positions, has advocated that crazy shit and more. Critics argue these stances prioritize ideology over evidence on youth medical transitions and economic impacts of aggressive climate targets. Supporters view them as 'moral imperatives against discrimination and environmental harm'.

The cartoon makes the case that crazy positions like his cross into irrational territory warranting 'institutional scrutiny' (I love that phrase). The Democrat's embrace of these ideas has detached from observable reality. It suggests voters and institutions should treat the candidate as the crackpot he is rather than a reasonable, rational governing candidate.

The best advice for those in the Gulf right now...

Isaias has intensified, with winds reaching 120mph just hours before it is expected to slam into the US tonight. The storm in the Atlantic will make landfall in the Gulf Coast on Friday night, with millions of Americans bracing for life-threatening conditions over the weekend, including heavy rainfall and flooding.

Isaias has become a Category 3 hurricane, and the National Hurricane Center is warning it’s “on the cusp of major hurricane status.” “Isaias is likely to become a major hurricane this morning and remain a dangerous hurricane at landfall this evening or tonight,” forecasters said Friday.

The storm is about 240 miles south of Pensacola, Florida, and is moving northeast at 15mph, The Weather Channel said this afternoon. When the storm, which is the first of its kind in the Atlantic this season, makes landfall Friday night, it will hit the northern Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Alabama to the western part of the Florida Panhandle.

I've been through twenty or more storms this strong or worse. 

Take care, guys...
