Surely was a fukt-up week, wasn't it?

Put that shit out to pasture and let's get a serious move on...

Do you know who this is?

Joe Biden has formally clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Friday. 



I'm serious. It just happened yesterday that they made it official. The nearly brain-dead former vice president will go on to challenge President Donald Trump in the general election against the backdrop of immense challenges: his inability to form a coherent sentence being the worst of it, but there's also the coronavirus pandemic, nationwide civil unrest and historic joblessness that now appears to be waning.

Biden collected the 1,991 delegates needed to become the nominee after Tuesday’s primaries in seven states and the District of Columbia. It took several days to tally Biden’s win because several states that voted in Democratic primaries on Tuesday were inundated with mail-in ballots from voters hoping to avoid the spread of COVID-19.

Fantasy of Flight - This is a really cool 
kinda museum here in Florida



1944 North American P-51C Mustang at Fantasy of Flight

You will be amazed at what you see and experience here. Aviation pioneer Kermit Weeks opened Fantasy of Flight in 1995 to share his love for aviation and aircraft.  It is home to the world’s largest private aircraft collection. 

There are more than 140 civilian and military planes, and many of them can fly.   Weeks says he has personally flown all of them. A portion of the collection is always on display for you to look at.  There are also themed immersion experiences, flight simulators, interactive exhibits, and tram tours. 

It is a great place to learn about aviation history. One good way to see the place is by taking a guided tour. You can check out Fantasy of Flight’s Facebook page and that of Kermit Weeks to see what's  happening.

I'm curious - do you take a multi? 

I've asked this question before and it's still legit - It's a great idea. I'm not kidding - it's just a good habit to get in to, especially as ya get older like I am. (I'm 67. Never ever thought I'd make it this far). Anyway, this is the one I take.


You can find it here for yourself.

And you wonder why we make fun of California. This chucklehead actually resigned from his job because he sent someone an email stating he didn’t “believe there’s ever been a good person of color killed by a police officer” Temecula Mayor James Stewart, who was elected in 2016, stepped down late Thursday after the word “good” was allegedly accidentally added to a message he dictated by voice-text in an email,  the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. At the time, Stewart was responding to a resident who had asked how the city was addressing police brutality.

Stewart, who has dyslexia, dictates the messages he sends. He insisted in this case that he never meant to express that sentiment in the Tuesday email, which was later posted to social media, sparking calls for his resignation. “Unfortunately I did not take the time to proofread what was recorded.”

I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

The scumbag lawyer who was busted in the Molotov cocktail attack on a NYPD vehicle suspended from his law firm 



The piece-of-shit Ivy League-educated lawyer and Brooklyn community board member busted in Saturday’s Molotov cocktail attack on a marked NYPD vehicle has been suspended without pay by the prestigious law firm where he worked. “Colinford Mattis has been placed on suspension without pay at corporate Manhattan firm Pryor Cashman. Mattis, 32, was allegedly behind the wheel of a minivan as his passenger, fellow attorney Urooj Rahman, allegedly hurled the incendiary device at an empty NYPD vehicle outside the 88th Precinct stationhouse in Fort Greene early Saturday.

A graduate of Princeton University and the New York University School of Law, was an associate at Pryor Cashman, which has 186 lawyers and staff across its three offices in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, according to its website.

Rahman, 31, another scumbag, is also an attorney in New York state, who was admitted to the bar in June 2019 after graduating from Fordham University School of Law.

Ivy League dooshbags.

Wrap your head around the talent that this guy hadda have.



"Ratto di Proserpina" is a large Baroque marble sculpture by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini, made between 1621 and 1622. He was 23 when he completed this sculpture.
... 

But as man is capable of something so breath-takingly beautiful as that statue, he's also capable of this:


... 
  Buffalo mayor Byron Brown says the 75-year-old man who was shoved to the ground by police was an 'agitator trying to spark up crowd of protesters'. 
He said he won't fire two cops amid the ongoing investigation because it's 'very important they get due process'

That's the first sensible thing I've heard a Dem politician say in a long time.

This is the big sneeze grocer here in Florida. It's a little pricey but man what a smooth operation. 
It always ranks high as a good place to work, and believe it or not, it's actually owned by the employees of the company - it's not publicly traded.
... 

I sure woulda liked to be a fly on that wall that day.



The President and the military's most senior official General Mark Milley are said to have got into a row in the Oval Office over Trump's demand for troops on the streets to calm protests in US cities. Trump said he wanted to control protests by sending active military onto streets but Milley stood firm and said that the task was one for law enforcement, not soldiers. 

Soon after the shouting match, Trump managed to get Gen. Milley, along with Defense Secretary Mark Esper to participate in a photo shoot across from White House. Moments before the photo op, protestors were moved from LaFayette park after being shot at with pepper bullets, smoke canisters and tear gas.

This statue was known as 'Christ of the Caribbean' and was located on the north shore of St. John, US Virgin Island. where I usta live. 
It was destroyed completely, along with my own house, during Hurricane Marilyn in 1995.

This just in from the 'I can't believe 
what a jerkoff this guy is' Department:

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell admits they were WRONG for 'not listening' to Colin Kaepernick's protests against police brutality and that players can kneel from now on.



I wonder what actually is in this guy's underwear 'cause he sure as fuck doesn't have any balls. Good God what an asshole. 

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell (left) actually came  out on video and said that they - the NFL -  were wrong in the way they handled Colin Kaepernick's  protest against police brutality of black people, which ultimately led to the quarterback to be without a club. 

The NFL has been locked in an ongoing debate with players over kneeling protests during the national anthem before the start of games, a practice popularised by quarterback Kaepernick in 2016 to protest racial injustice and police brutality. 

Kaepernick filed a grievance against the league in 2017, claiming collusion as no teams signed him after he parted ways with the San Francisco 49ers. 

Fuck these unnecessary jerkoffs.

Did I know that there was an actual Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’ Barbie doll? No, in fact, I did not. I doubt that you knew, either. 
So there we are with that.
... 

The FBI believes a Virginia man accidentally amputated his own hand while making an explosive device that may have been designed to kill 'hot cheerleaders'. 



 Cole Carini, 23, of Richlands, arrived at the Clinch Valley Medical Center on June 2 with a missing hand and shrapnel wounds on his neck and throat. Several fingers on his other hand were also missing. He claimed the injuries were the result of a lawn mowing accident.  However, a police officer who arrived at medical facility to interview Carini soon turned suspicious after learning the young man had previously been convicted on explosives charges. 

Like I said - can't make this shit up.

'Tis the season once again. Time to start 
watching the Weather Channel again.


Cristobal became a tropical storm on Friday evening after it was downgraded to a tropical depression this week. Tropical Storm Cristobal reached sustained wind speeds of 45mph as it inched closer to the southern Gulf of Mexico. It is expected to make landfall in the southern United States on Sunday. 

Tropical storm warnings have been issued for parts of the Gulf Cost, including Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Cristobal made landfall in Mexico on Wednesday, combining with Tropical Storm Amanda to cause flooding and  at least 30 deaths (bottom inset). Gasoline prices rise as US Oil  producers shut down well along the Gulf Coast in anticipation of the storm.

  1. About baseball: It is June 6 and the Yankees are tied for last place and the Mets are tied for first. It's all perspective.

    Accept it, it the 2020 season. If it happens. If I was making a half million to play baseball, I would play baseball when and where they wanted me to play. If they prorated it to half the games and I only made a quarter of a million I would still play baseball when and where they wanted me to play.

    If there is no baseball in 2020 there will be a much smaller fan base in 2021. That half million minimal salary will go out the window when the money doesn't roll in. The big stars making 7 figure salaries need to smarten up as their money will be on the chopping block as well.

  2. Paige Spiranac, American professional golfer is my guess on your picture question. Professional baseball lost me after the canceled world series & strike back in the 90's.

  3. Since there haven't been any primaries for 2 1/2 months, how could Gropin' Joe qualify for anything? Except a rubber room, of course.

    And Trump was right. Milley and Esper have to go. And he has more guts than they do.

    BTW the MyPillow guy is donating bedding to the UT Guardsmen (sure learn who your friends are).

    Goodell's always been a wussy.

    And I'll bet the lady does have a cute angina.

  5. I heard the Fantasy of Flight had closed? I went by years ago and there was a C47 out front but nothing left inside...

    when it was open I'd have rather had gone there than any stupid amusement park...

  6. From Wiki:

    On March 4, 2014, Fantasy of Flight announced that they would close to the public after April 6, 2014 but continue to stage private events. They further announced that they would reopen to the public in late 2014 as a scaled-down museum, with reduced admission prices, while they simultaneously begin to design and build the main facility into more of a destination attraction that would appeal to a wider audience rather than just aviation aficionados.[29] Ironically, the announcement that the facility would soon be closing its doors to the public has caused a significant upswell in visitors. Crowds have been so large that the facility has had to make use of its overflow parking area on multiple occasions since the announcement.[1] As of 2017 the museum is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and most Sundays.
