Bernie Sanders commits suicide?

Don't kid yourself. This whole thing is not gonna sit well with a few folks - if ya know what I mean... 

... 

Bernie Sanders is now the front-runner. And moderates may be too divided to stop him. 


At first, the insane, over-the-top cheers for Bernie Sanders were so deafening he could hardly begin his speech. “This victory here is the beginning of the end for Donald Trump,” the screwball socialist and newly minted Democratic presidential front-runner declared. “No matter who wins—and we certainly hope it’s going to be us—we are going to unite together and defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country.” 

Fat chance of that - nobody in the party machine likes this sociopath. BUT...

With 85% of the vote counted late Tuesday, Sanders had won the New Hampshire primary with some 26% of the vote, beating second-place Pete Buttigieg, who took 24%. The state was long seen as a Sanders stronghold, but at fewer than 5,000 votes, the margin was unexpectedly slender. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar was the surprise of the night, surging into a strong third place with 20% of the vote. Warren and Joey B were also-rans.
... 

We polled the Democratic candidates and only these two responded. The question was, "If you shit the bed in So. Carolina, do you think it's time to go home and shut the fuck up finally?"

You didn't see this on last night's news, didja...

TRUMP SIGNS BIGGEST WILDERNESS PROTECTION BILL IN DECADE, DESIGNATES 375,000 NEW ACRES OF PROTECTED LAND 


Trump signed the country's largest wilderness preservation legislation in a decade, providing widespread protections for Joshua Tree and Death Valley national parks.

Trump's signing of the National Resources Management Act, or S.47, marked a surprisingly overwhelming bipartisan congressional effort and began with the environmental protection bill introduced by Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski in January. The bill expands federally protected land, where there can be no logging, drilling, mining or road construction, and establishes 375,000 new acres of wilderness across California, Oregon, New Mexico and Utah.

How cool is that? Must weigh 3 tons.
... 


She's looking for that one impossible-to-find politician that no one in the Democrat party seems to be able to nominate. The one that can de-throne the Donald.
... 

Didn't see this comin', didja? How many millions of dollars did this dooshtool piss away in the last coupla months?


This is not the last we've seen of Yang, who now is a a bit of a celebrity, even though he is a certified whack-job. He has a substantial fundraising base and platform to run in nearly any race in his home state of New York that he wants to. And everyone, conservative and liberal alike, ought to hope he will. Politics need more men such as Yang - guys with razor-thin knowledge of anything that matters and a penchant for giving shit away.

Are you like me? I never spend change. 

It makes me crazy when yer behind some old biddy in the store and she starts rummaging around in her purse for 98 cents, coming out one coin at a time. Makes me fuckin' nuts! 

Usually I just take it home and at the end of the day just throw it in a jar on my dresser. Once in a while, I'll crack a beer or two and sort 'em out and roll 'em. I actually have a special little bank account just for the change and the bills I squirrel. That account usually funds some or all of my vacations - square business.

I bought one of these sets about a year ago. Makes separating the coins a breeze - and it's pretty cheap. Take a look:

And they almost made him a manager. 
Imagine that... 


Details emerge about Carlos Beltrán’s role in the 2017 Astros clubhouse and the team’s sign-stealing scheme 

'You’re an accessory to a robbery, and now you’re in the backseat of the getaway car. You never intended to be part of a criminal act. But the doors are locked, the driver is speeding away, and you’re unable to escape.'

One member of the 2017 World Series champion Astros uses that analogy to explain the feeling in the clubhouse as the team deployed a real-time sign-stealing scheme that season.

Carlos Beltrán, a highly respected veteran with a Hall-of-Fame resume, had helped create the system, and as the senior member of the team, his voice functionally prevailed over all others. Clubhouse dynamics are a powerful force, conditioning players to keep quiet and respect veterans, and ultimately played a role in the Astros’ snowballing scandal.

The Villages expected to nearly double in size in next 20 years. It's already the largest development of it's kind in the world. 


This is the development - TheVillages - as it exists now - It's 15 or so miles north to south and half that east to west. 

I live in the north eastern part of the highlighted area

As home building escalates south of the Florida Turnpike, The Villages is expected to nearly double in size in 20 years, according to development plans approved Monday by the Wildwood City Commission.

The plans allow 60,449 homes in three designated areas along with 17.8 million square feet of commercial space and 222,000 square feet of office and governmental space.

The Villages north of State Road 44, not including the villages of Southern Oaks and Fenney, has about 65,000 homes.

The new projects will extend southward to State Road 48 at the city limits of Center Hill and do not include land acquired by The Villages in Lake County near Leesburg, where another 2,800 homes can be built.

The latest development agreements divide The Villages projects into three areas. Area A is the original Villages of Southern Oaks south of State Road 44 on both sides of the Florida Turnpike. Area B, which includes 4,132 acres, is south of County Road 470 where the 8,000-home Landstone development was proposed more than a decade ago. The 8,354-acre Area C is south of the Coleman federal prison in an area known as Stuart Ranch.

In Area A, 24,845 homes are planned along with 2.5 million square feet of commercial space and 32,000 square feet of office and governmental space.

Area B will include 18,413 homes, 2.3 million square feet of commercial space and 110,000 square feet of office and governmental space.

Area C will include 16,191 homes, about 3 million square fee.

I hope there enough water for everybody.

I saw this picture and was mesmerized - how fuckin' cool is this bar? 
Wish I knew where it was - I'd bucket list that fucker fersher...
...

I'm gonna go on a bit about this 'cause it's not very often that you actually find something that works as well as this thing does. 

I first found it at a place in NJ - Jaeger Lumber Yard in Belmar.  They had one on a chain at the counter and I tried it on my pocket knife while I was waiting for them to print out my order. I couldn't fuckin' believe how easy it is to use and what an incredible fuckin' job it did!  



I bought one and brought it home and did all of my kitchen knives that night. Every one of them - even the serated bread knife - came out sharp as a friggin' razor! It's Christmas week I should mention, so the next day I went back and bought five of them - one for my mother and one each for each of my brothers and sisters. Gave 'em each one for Christmas and they were thrilled (well almost all. I have this one sister... but that's a story for another day)

The coolest thing is, the blades in this are reversable so they stay sharp twice as long. Listen, I may hype a buncha stuff on here that ya may or may not need, but seriously these things are fuckin' legit. You'll thank me the first time ya use it, I promise. 

Trust me, ya try it and you'll do the same thing I did - give 'em to friends. They're available individually, but here's a good deal on a twin-pack:

Imagine havin' to do THAT for your dinner...

    Must be nice to lock your competition out.
