That's not oil, Calvin...

Being able to present what my wife creates is the best reason I have 
for doing this, and besides, what else would I do with all this free time?

Levelling the 'playing' field...

The US army unveiled plans on Monday to require a fitness test with identical physical standards for men and women in combat positions after the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, ordered the elimination of gender-based fitness requirements in frontline roles.
The revamped army fitness test, which replaces the combat fitness test, will be “sex-neutral” and force female soldiers in 21 combat specialties to meet the same benchmarks as men – a change expected to drastically cut the number of women qualifying for these positions.
“The five-event AFT is designed to enhance Soldier fitness, improve warfighting readiness, and increase the lethality of the force,” the army said in a press release. Gone is the “standing power throw” or “ball yeet”, replaced with a streamlined assessment of deadlifts, push-ups, planks, a two-mile run and a sprint-drag-carry exercise. For younger women, the standards jump significantly – deadlifting 140lb instead of 120, and shaving nearly 90 seconds off required run times.

It may be time for a name change. I'm no little old lady...

 
I love when you guys take the time to comment on posts, sharing your insights with all of us. The majority of them are thoughtful, prescient and timely. A few of them don't make the cut 'cause threats to public figures' lives ain't cool, or they're juvenile and salacious. 
This guy hit a home run of sorts with his comment. In six+ years of doing this, I never thought the name was misleading, but now...
I'm thinking I should change then name to 'Big tits, free booze and dirty jokes'. Wuddya think?

If I watch 20 minutes of network news a week it's too much...
...   

Wild fires in the Pine Barrens section of New Jersey in Ocean County spread to over 8,500 acres yesterday. The fires closed a huge stretch of the Garden State Parkway and forced evacuations of some residents. They're going through a drought up there as we are here in No. Central Florida.

MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted Tuesday that her cable news network’s liberal-leaning audience only tunes in to watch coverage of President Trump that is “typically not going to be positive.”

It's called 'preaching to the choir', you moron. Jeez..

That rate for the Pound is the highest it's been in probably 20 years. Last year when we went to Northern Ireland it was somewhere around $ 1.21. I'm gonna get crushed if it stays there in to August when I'm going over for two weeks. Time to roll up the change in the swear jar...

Yeah - the Republican Party's got a bunch of old dinosaurs that need to be put out to pasture too. Some new, fresh voices are needed everywhere you look.

Wanna buy a condo in Florida? Now may be the time. People are freaking out down here...


You wanna grab a nice condo in Florida at a discounted Price? Now may be the right time for ya. It's not my style, though.
 Coupla reasons why I would never own a condo? First and foremost is the condo board thing. Ain't no fuckin' way I'm gonna let some jerkoff I don't know tell me what I can and cannot do with my home. Also, I'd never wanna live any place that I had to take an elevator to get to my living room. Just ain't my style. All that 'special assessment' shit is for the birds, too. Buddy of mine got whacked $16,000.00 for a new roof on his building, and he lives on the first floor ferfucksakes. Should the guys on the top floor have to pay for that? Juss' sayin'...
 


Sure - let's give money to women just because they got knocked up. Great plan...


One of the proposals to encourage women to have children includes a $5,000 baby bonus, which would be given to mothers after delivery of their child. Another proposal involves saving 30 percent of Fulbright program scholarships for those who are married or have children.
The administration is also considering a more educational approach, supposedly floating a government program that would help educate women about their cycles and, by consequence, have a better idea about their ovulation window and the ideal time to conceive.
That second idea may be the stupidest thing to come out this administration. At least to date it is. I'da thought that shit was a mother's job, but what do I know, right?

Who needs college when the wind is blowing?

Know some kid who needs a good, high-paying career? Go west, young man. Head to the Dakotas or Colorado, and look for jobs in wind energy.  Wind turbine service technician is the hottest job in the country, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with 60% growth projected between 2023-2033.
North Dakota (22.3), South Dakota (20.4) and Colorado (13.4) have the most wind energy-related jobs per 10,000 residents as of last year. That's according to the 2024 U.S. Energy & Employment Jobs Report (an annual U.S. Department of Energy analysis out this week), plus 2023 census population estimates.
Texas has the highest number of wind energy jobs overall, at nearly 27,400. That's more than double that of the next-highest state, Illinois, which has about 9,400.


No good deed goes unpunished. Very subtle...

Tariffs may suck, but they sure do create jobs. Go figure...

The Swiss drugmaker Roche has said it will put $50bn into manufacturing in the US over the next five years, joining the queue of companies unveiling investments to try to head off potentially punitive tariffs.
Roche said the investment would create more than 12,000 jobs, including 6,500 in construction and 1,000 at new and expanded existing facilities in the US, including factories and distribution centres in Kentucky, New Jersey and California.
Switzerland has a 10% tariff, which is on track to rise to 31% when the 90-day pause Trump announced earlier this month comes to an end. The pharmaceutical industry is bracing for sector-specific tariffs after Trump last week announced a 21-day investigation last week under the Trade Expansion Act, widely considered the first step towards levies on imports.

Uncle Joe's not there even when he's not there...

This pic was posted to Joe's X account on Sunday, and pretty much everyone who's seen it is sure it's bogus. Is he sitting or standing? Why is he in a suit and tie and everyone else is casual? Who actually gives a fuck - do you really think for even one second that Joe Biden himself posts shit online? Seriously, the man can't even tie his  own shoes anymore. Juss' sayin'...

Yesterday, former Vice President Al Gore compared President Donald Trump’s administration to Nazi Germany and issued a dire warning about Trump’s use of power in a speech devoted to climate change.

What a fascinating - and frightening - scenario they crafted with this poll. First and foremost, do so many people know anything about Pete Judgabooty? And how does Jon Stewart (I'm assuming that's the TV guy) fit in to the equation? Has he announced that he's interested somehow that I'm not aware of? I'da thought George Clooney might be on the list. 
As far as that fat fuck Pritzger is concerned, the guy is 110% full of shit. He made his billions the old-fashioned way - he was born into money. And who the fuck is Shawn Fain? I thought that was a political party in Ireland...

A front-page Babylon Bee news item...
...   

Don't laugh. This isn't another Babylon Bee hoax - it's 100% legit. He actually did this during Easter week in his last year in office (2024 for the mentally challenged). Honest to god - can you imagine the out-of-this-world crazy motherfuckers who worked in his White House and came up with this shit?

I didn't click on this linked ad I saw on a website, but I thought the concept was fascinating? What the fuck could they possibly be selling to make a pitch like this? Inquiring minds don't want to know...
