The news is only what you want it to be.

Unless you read or see every side of every issue, your take on any one subject is gonna be subjective. 

Prove me wrong...

Something to remember when you're thinking 
about who to vote for in November:

'I would shut America down': Joe Biden says 
he would start second lockdown to fight 
coronavirus pandemic if scientists recommend it 
as he slams Donald Trump for not working 
to 'fix the virus'
... 

... 

... 

This line still cracks me up.


Washington Post "conservative opinion writer" Jennifer Rubin claimed Thursday she was so moved by this year's Democratic National Convention that she cried more than dozen times during the four-night event. Joe Biden wrapped up the convention Thursday night by officially accepting the Democratic Party's nomination in a well-received speech. His remarks followed speeches from Obama and Michelle, Biden's wife Jill, and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Following the conclusion of the convention, CNN contributor Amanda Carpenter asked on Twitter 'how emotional the quadrennial gathering of Democrats made viewers'.


"I need an honest tally from all you who watched all four nights of the Dem convention telling me the number of times the programming 'made you cry'. Go," Carpenter tweeted. Rubin, an MSNBC contributor, responded to Carpenter's inquiry. 
"15? 20?" Rubin estimated

"Do tears of boredom count?" Daily Wire editor and writer Jon Brown jokingly asked.


The above stupidity is a perfect example of why 
I don't Twit. Fuckin' moronic behaviour.

Can you even get yer head around the idea 
of living in that kind of poverty? I just can't.
... 

And then ya got these rich, entitled jerkoffs:


Go to New York City and rob a gas station and you won't get two months in jail. The justice system in this country is so silly. Guy kills 20 people, they clothe and feed him for life with free medical care. Makes no sense - at least not to me.

There are bars out there you've never 
been in and you know it...

I don't wanna sound cynical, but c'mon - 
how could they possibly know this...


313 million years? How could they possibly ever be so friggin' certain about that exact number? Did the landslide shake loose some prehistoric fossilized newspaper or something?

If you thought God (or whoever) was finished fucking with us now that there's gonna be two hurricanes in the gulf at the same time, think again...

Somewhere in New Jersey - there hasta be at least one place - there's someone who understands why these people deal with 
such inane bullshit as this:


NJ Goobernater Phil Murphy - a complete tool if ever there was one -  on Friday signed a bill to end the use of 'freeholder' as a title for county leaders. Under the new measure, all current freeholder positions will be retitled as “county commissioners” beginning at the start of next year. Additionally, the term “boards of chosen freeholders” will be replaced with “boards of county commissioners.”

Evidently, 'freeholder' - the term - had something to do with something to do with slavery like 170 fucking years ago. 

Good god what fuckin' idiots. With all the crazy shit going on in the country and the state's economy on the brink of total collapse, they busy themselves with bullshit like this.

 It's really unfuckinbelievable.

I gotta go over the numbers with ya again to make sure you understand how incredibly 'over-reported' this whole friggin' virus thing is.


Can you read these figures? The weekly average of reported cases they're talking about is roughly 30 cases per 100,00 people over the course of the week. 30. Out of 100,00. Over seven days. That's .0003% of the population. That's so fuckin' ridiculously infinitesimal. It's such a non-event. Why are they even talking about it let alone it's daily headline news?

You guys know I carry an original 'Old Timer' pocket knife, but I'll admit - this set still intrigues me. 

I see that a number of my readers bought it for themselves -

And ya get all three plus the key chain for under $ 23 bucks? 
That's a helluva good deal, don'tcha think?

  1. Your grandpa with his hat picture? Hats for men were part of life until the 60's, you can see it most of the old photos. Seems riding in cars and the JFK fashion statement (he didn't wear a hat) pushed men's hats out of the picture.


    Fossilized tracks? Of what? If they were human footprints that would be something!


    It's the flu! A good one but not that unusual, we lose tens of thousands of lives to the flu every year. What's different is the 24/7 publicity.

It was the summer of 1973, and I had just gotten out of the Army...

 In '71, after I graduated high school, I was young  and stupid and thought I wanted an adventure...         The draft was still in forc...
