Ya just can't get it over there for some reason...

 

World Cup fans fell in love with America for a funny reason: ranch dressing. Visitors coming to the United States have apparently enjoyed it so much that some have tried packing bottles to take back home to the UK, which says a lot about how even something as simple as a salad dressing can become part of the American experience.

 People came here for the games, but they leave talking about the culture, the friendliness, and the sheer fun of everyday life. Even ranch dressing became a little symbol of that - a very American thing that travelers enjoyed enough to want to smuggle home. Sometimes it’s the big moments, and sometimes it’s a bottle of ranch in a suitcase. 

I'll be bringing two bottles with me to Belfast next month - 

if we decide to do checked luggage...

I thought agreeing with AOC was strange, but agreeing with Carville about AOC? What's happening to me...

Veteran Democratic pinhead James Carville is throwing cold water on the left’s dream scenario: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez winning the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.  He said plainly that AOC’s far-left politics are wildly out of step with the Democrats who actually pick their nominee, reminding listeners that Democrats have never nominated their most liberal candidate for president, even back in the 1970s.

He doesn’t think she’ll even try for the White House because, in his words, “she’s not gonna have any chance.” In simple terms, Carville is saying the party likes AOC as a progressive star on social media and cable news, but when it’s time to choose a nominee, Democrats still gravitate toward more moderate, establishment-friendly choices, in spite of the fact that they pushed Kamala in to the race without a problem.

 

In plain English, the voters who matter most in the early primary states are more cautious and centrist than AOC’s young, urban, progressive base. Despite these warnings, AOC still shows up in the top tier of early 2028 Democratic polling, alongside names like Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, and Josh Shapiro. 

The State says you can't own an AR. The court says you can...

This is a major victory for Second Amendment rights. A federal appeals court has struck down New Jersey’s assault weapons ban and magazine capacity limits. The ruling is a significant blow to the state’s strict gun control measures.

The decision reaffirms that law-abiding citizens have the right to own commonly used firearms and standard-capacity magazines. New Jersey’s ban was one of the most aggressive in the country, and the court found it unconstitutional under the protections guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

This ruling aligns with recent Supreme Court precedents emphasizing individual rights rather than broad government restrictions. It could set a precedent for challenges in other states with similar laws.

The right to keep and bear arms is fundamental to American liberty and self-defense. Criminals don’t obey bans — they only disarm law-abiding citizens. Courts striking down unconstitutional restrictions is exactly how the system is supposed to work. Our thanks to the clear-headed Judges for their opinions. Thanks also to Florida Hillbilly for letting us know we still have some rights, no matter how hard left-leaning jerkoffs try to take them from us...

Is it arrogance - or hubris - that makes him want to convince us he actually wrote the book?

Joe Biden can't put a sentence together when he's reading from a teleprompter right in frontof his face. I know it, you know it, and almost every non-Dimorat knows it, but somehow we're to believe he could sit down and write a cogent 300+ page book? 

C'mon, man - you know Dr. Jill's behind this 'cause she knows ole Joe has one foot in the grave and she wants to make bank before he kicks. Biden's advance for his presidential memoir, "Promise Me, America," is in the range of $10 million. The worldwide rights to the book were acquired by Hachette Book Group and its Little, Brown & Co. imprint. I wonder how much Netflix'll pay him for the movie rights. Juss' sayin'...

This was called '77 steps' back when I was a kid. They were in the North Newark section where I grew up. It was a sorta shortcut between two streets that were divided by a substantial little hill. The powers that be (for lack of a better term) in the City tore them out out of fear of litigation - after they had been there for about 75 years - and zero lawsuits against the City. Now, if you want to go from one street to the other, you have to walk about a half mile in either direction to do so. That's how Dimorat Cities are run.

Coupla thoughts on what was (presumably because you really don't think I watched it, do you?) a really bad half-time show. First of all, soccer games don't have half-time shows - it's a fucked-up American idea. Then Justin Bieber? Has he done anything of note beside getting more tattoos in the past 15 years? And Madonna. Yeah - that old age-denying POS who hasn't sold a record in 20 years. Ya really gotta wonder who are the genuises behind decisions like these, don'tcha?

NY Mayor Mamdani enraged the city's Italian population by erasing Little Italy from New York's official ethnic Enclave map. 

Mamdani can get away with insulting Italians because he has a driver - he doesn't have to start his own car

This year’s HR Derby on Netflix had 5.3M viewers. That is the smallest audience for a HR Derby since 2003. The idea of major sports events on subscriber-based streaming services is dangerous to both the 'network' and the sport. The idea that marketing anything to as broad an audience as possible seems to be lost on these money-grubbing sports people. Ya really think the powers-that-be at Major League Baseball are concerned aboout not having a fan base in 20 years? Think again - they're too myopic for that kinda thinking.

The Treasury Department showed the U.S. currency with President Trump's signature on the bills. Normally only a dead president can appear on U.S. currency. But after dodging 4 assassination attempts, a drone attack and Iran's death sentence, Trump came to the conclusion that it's close enough.

Back in the days of 'B' movies...

This is a colorized still photo from"Don't" - a 1925 American silent comedy film directed by Alfred J. Goulding, starring Sally O'Neil, John Patrick, Bert Roach, and Ethel Wales, and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film is one of the 'B pictures' the studio produced to keep the Loews circuit and other cinemas supplied.

As described in a film magazine review, Mr. Moffat selects Abel Totem as a prospective husband for his daughter Tracey, but the parent-defying flapper engages in a school-girl flirtation with Gilbert Jenkins which develops into a real love affair. Gilbert owns an automobile and the rebellious Tracey, dodging a family outing at an amusement park, goes riding with him. They have a variety of whimsical adventures, and in the end Gilbert wins out with the family and Mr. Moffat agrees to their marriage.

Bear in mind it was easier to entertain people 101 years ago...

Hey, Honey - lets go hiking where those big-ass friggin' bears are...

 

An Alaskan hike turned into a terrifying test of survival after three hikers experienced a heart-pounding encounter with a grizzly bear. The hikers rounded a corner and found themselves face-to-face with the bear, nicknamed “Scuba Sue,” while it was hunting for salmon along a narrow trail at the Anan Creek Wildlife Observatory in southeast Alaska.

Speaking on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” the trio detailed how they relied on crucial park ranger safety protocols to stay calm after finding themselves trapped on the path. “We’d actually been watching bears, hoping that there were salmon coming up the river. We saw about four or five bears earlier. Those were black bears. And then coming back on the trail, we had an unexpected encounter,” Dr. Michelle Lynn Thaller said. “Right around the corner came this grizzly bear.”

 

Video captured from the scene shows the bear getting up close and personal with the hikers. The group was forced to talk to the bear, while slowly backing away to allow room for it to pass on the path. Good thing that little gal wasn't hungry. Didja see the size of the mitts on her? Yikes...

Got a bad case of the shits? Yup - Trump's fault. Unbelievable...

The lettuce now being recalled by Taylor Farms in California has also 

hatched a number of lawsuits filed in federal court against Taco Bell, which allegedly used the shredded lettuce contaminated with a parasite called cyclospora. No deaths have been reported from the outbreak.

Of course, like most any negative condition that makes headlines and impacts Americans, the problem was caused by Trump, according to a Democrat lawmaker and another who is running for Congress.

 

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) posted a video yesterday on social media claiming the “worst outbreak in U.S. history” was caused by the president “taking a wrecking ball” to “our public health infrastructure,” even though the actual source of the outbreak has been traced to Mexico.

It never rains in California, but it sure as shit rains like crazy in NYC...

The bustling streets of Soho turned into an underwater nightmare Saturday as heavy rain battered the Big Apple causing severe flooding across the city. Shocking video obtained by The Post shows the usually busy intersection of West Broadway and Grand Street in Soho inundated with heavy flood waters.

 

Several cars, including ambitious taxi drivers, can be seen cautiously driving through the flooded streets trying to make their way out of the underwater mess - while pedestrians were trapped with some using garbage bags as protection against the rising water.

How does shit like this happen? It's almost impossible to believe that the storm drains in a major city like New York are insufficient to handle the flow, but it's happening more and more everywhere almost daily. Must be all those cigarette butts people throw in the sewers clogging them up, huh?
