Up to their old tricks - doing, accomplishing and proving nothing...

No Kings rallies are planned in communities across New Jersey on Saturday with events planned in 20 counties. The demonstrations range from marches and rallies to visibility events and flyer distribution.

The first No Kings protests took place on June 14, 2025, as a “Day of Action” with 50 protests in 50 states. The date coincided with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in Washington, an unprecedented display of the country’s military equipment and soldiers. 

This year, organizers are focusing on the upcoming midterm election and encouraging voters to cast their ballots early. The “Vote Early” initiative urges eligible voters to make a plan, understand their voting options and be ready to participate in the election.

"No Kings" rallies are planned in all 50 States this weekend. To what end? What do they get from this that they can't get from just sticking their heads out the windows and screaming 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore'? Nothing. Same result.

Is it really the mid-term doldrums?

Donald Trump's approval ratings have dropped into territory that historically signals trouble for the president's party in midterm elections. With voters set to decide control of Congress in 2026, Republican strategists face the familiar pattern of the president's unpopularity becoming a drag on down-ballot races. The stakes are high because control of the House and Senate determines the ability to advance or block legislation for the remainder of the term.

The broader context involves a Republican Party that remains closely aligned with Trump despite repeated polling warnings. Past midterms have shown that when a president's approval sits below 45 percent, the opposition party typically gains seats. 

The cartoon makes the case that Trump's low standing is not merely a background factor but the central force pulling Republican prospects off course.That cartoon more than suggests continued loyalty to Trump carries direct electoral costs that candidates will pay in November 2026. Another 'wait-and-seeminute. The polls have Dems kickin' ass and takin' names. We shall see...

The owners argue a hard cap and floor improve competitive balance. 

The MLBPA strongly opposes a salary cap, maintaining that it artificially restricts player rights and compensation.

What are the next steps? No formal agreement has been reached yet as both sides remain far apart on the core economic structure.

So, what do we have to look forward ti in the 2027 season? A Mexican standoff. With the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expiring on December 1, 2026, the debate outlines two fundamentally opposing philosophies on the economics of professional sports, in which no one suffers more than the fans. Again...

Okay, boys - we're in big trouble. Bring in the doddering idiot...

 

Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to campaign in Florida next week for Democrat David Jolly. This will be Clinton’s first public appearance on the 2026 trail outside of earlier New York events. David Jolly spent the last year calling the Epstein file dump “dripping with depraved criminality” and telling Republicans to do the right thing.

Now he’s happy to stand next to Bill Clinton the guy Epstein visited at the White House 17 times, who flew on the Lolita Express 26 times, who paid Paula Jones $850k, and who got impeached over the Lewinsky cigar. The outrage only applies when it hurts Trump. When Clinton shows up to help the campaign, the files, the victims, and “believe all women” suddenly don’t matter. Wudda bunch of hypocrites.

Florida’s governor’s race is producing sharply conflicting polling results, with some surveys showing Republican Byron Donalds holding a double-digit lead over Democrat David Jolly, while others find the candidates virtually tied.

A Stetson University poll released October 13 found Donalds leading Jolly 52 percent to 41 percent, while a Change Research survey conducted around the same time found the candidates tied at 47 percent each. A separate St. Pete Polls survey also found the candidates tied...

Clinton's an amateur compared to this guy. Among his other exploits, it's reported that he had 

a threesome with his brother Bobby and Marilyn Monroe right in the White House...

A heroic community member raced into an Oregon elementary school in pursuit of a teen gunman who shot and killed four people, including three children. 

The unidentified hero was praised by Governor Tina Kotek after gunfire erupted in Silver Rail Elementary School on Thursday afternoon. 'To the community member who heroically intervened...your actions carry a heavy emotional burden and I want you to know my thoughts are with you as well,' Kotek said at a press conference.

The amazing this is, the representations, although they don't obviously account for every one who's allegiance lies with one party or the other, I think we can all agree the depictions of individual examples are fairly accurate. On a personal note, it's always fascinated me the insanely ridiculous shit Dims get so friggin' jacked uo about. Remember back when Trump was elected - the first time? Just before his inaugaration, 100,00 (supposed estimate) marched on Washington, all wearing knitted pink pussy hats? Ahd that march was headed up by a convicted felon, but nobody seemed to give a fuck. Haven't spoken to one of my siblings since I mentioned that aspect of the march.

The meme features Alice Weidel, co-leader of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.While widely shared online and frequently attributed to Alice Weidel in viral social media posts, fact-checking organizations have noted that the sentiment and variations of the quote have circulated online for years, so she probably didn't say it first.

The comment uses a rhetorical analogy to contrast regulatory enforcement in everyday activities (such as requiring a permit or license for fishing) with the political and legal debates surrounding immigration enforcement and border control, and how fucked up some counry's policies and priorities are.

Every baseball fan has a team that's their favorite, and another team or two they kinda fuckin' despise. For me, my loyalties are and always will be in pinstripes in the Bronx, in spite of the fact they're a buncha post-season chokes for the last 20 odd years. On the other side of the coin, I 'dislike' the Red Sux as much as they dislike the Bronx Bummers, and I really don't like the Dodgers, unless we're talkin' the old Sandy Koufax/Don Drysdale Dodgers. Juss' sayin'...

A near-perfect moonless morning sky...

Birthday week happenings had me in Captiva for the night. Got up to you-know-what at just past 4:00am and happened to look out the slider as I came back to bed, and this is what I saw. It's been a very, VERY long time since I've seen the Milky Way this clear. I think the last time I saw it it was even clearer that this. 

It was up at TJ's cottage in Donegal County ona very rare, clear moonless night. I wish we had cell-phone cameras back then. I mean, we did, but nothing like today, where the camera is the most important feature of the phone. 

You know what I mean...

Now THIS is a campaign I'd donate to...

Long before social media turned personal branding into a career, Hooters turned waitresses into stars -cultivating their looks and building fan bases that extended far beyond the restaurant. That luster was one of the reasons Hailey Slobodzian grew up dreaming of following in her mother’s footsteps and becoming a Hooters Girl.

As a child, trying on her mom’s vintage orange-and-white uniform whenever she could, the iconic outfit was a symbol of femininity and empowerment - one that had propelled her mother Amy, now 51, to local fame and prosperity.

Amy was a Hooters girl in the 1990s, serving customers on the floor while also representing the brand on a much larger stage.  By 17 and so enamored with the profession, Hailey was working at a Hooters in Fort Myers - and looking every bit the part: long brown hair, immaculate nails, a feminine, shapely figure and socks scrunched to just the right height.

Hailey, now a mother and full-time nurse, laughs at the contrast between her two careers. At Hooters, she once raked in $5,000 in tips in a single night. There's a much longer article about this if you're interested (nyuck nyuck). It's here...

 

If nothing else, it's gonna be loud...

The US military has developed strike plans that could include dropping the “mother of all bombs” on Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear targets if President Trump green-lights additional attacks on the regime, according to a report Thursday.

A GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb – the largest non-nuclear explosive the US has ever detonated in combat – has not been used since 2017 when it was dropped on an ISIS cave and tunnel complex in Afghanistan and its use would mark a significant escalation in Washington’s 7 ½ month war with Tehran.

Trump has reportedly ordered military top brass to create strike packages against Iran that include a “lot of energy infrastructure,” and these attacks could involve the use of a MOAB, citing the same source.

Ya have to wonder how much more those towel heads can take. Their economy's down the toilet, and they can't keep killing all of their protestors. Somewhere along the line, somebody's gotta pull the trigger and be done with this - and them...

What did we do before we had phones smarter than us?

I can add more than a few items to that list, as I'm sure you've got some ideas as well. For one thing, we had to rely heavily on our own imaginations. 

I can remember my mother actually packing a bag lunch and filling my 'genuine' for-real Army canteen with apple juice or KoolAid for me, so that Steve Imeriale, Kenny Caputo, Bobby Gizzo and I could go to that small patch of brush and trees near the house and we'd play 'Army' all day with no problems or worries. 

My father had even scoured a near-by Army-Navy store (do they even still exist?) for ammobelts and canteens and mess kits and even a big knife and sheeth to go on the belt, so I'd be complete when me and Gizzo went out on our 'patrols'.

There was tons of other shit we'd do, too. In the winter we'd sleighride and build snow forts and have snowball battles. In the summers we had bone-breaking backyard Slip 'n Slides we'd play on all day long. Stickball in the strest, 'Booties-up' on any available wall, even kick the can. Because we had imaginations. 

Share you memories if you have the time...
