Good thing Elvis isn't around to see what these fuckin' scumbags did to his house...
The wall outside Graceland in Memphis where Elvis fans write their names and tributes to The King was vandalized overnight.

This may well be the funniest thing
I've heard about this year...
“To ensure that Federal funds are neither unduly wasted nor spent in a manner that directly violates our Government’s promise to protect life, liberty, and property, it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction in America’s cities.”
President Trump is ordering the federal government to begin the process of defunding New York City and three other cities where officials allowed “lawless” protests and cut police budgets amid rising violent crime.
Trump on Wednesday signed a five-page memo ordering all federal agencies to send reports to the White House Office of Management and Budget that detail funds that can be redirected.
New York City, Washington, DC, Seattle and Portland are initial targets as Trump makes “law and order” a centerpiece of his reelection campaign after months of unrest and violence following the May killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police.
“My Administration will not allow Federal tax dollars to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones,” Trump says in the memo, which twice mentions New York Mayor Bill de Blasio by name.

Train going over the Pigeon Key Viaduct
Florida East Coast RR at Pigeon Key, Fla.back in 1926.
When the United States announced in 1905 its intention to build the Panama Canal, Henry Flagler, John D. Rockefeller's partner in Standard Oil, embarked on perhaps his greatest challenge: the extension of the Florida East Coast Railway to Key West, a city of almost 20,000 inhabitants located 128 miles beyond the end of the Florida peninsula. A train depot in Key West, the United States' closest deepwater port to the Canal, could not only take advantage of Cuban and Latin America trade, but significant trade possibilities with the west via the new Canal.
You can read about him in the book 'The man who invented Florida'. It's a great read.

Doesn't it seem to you that they're all trying
to outdo themselves and each other in a
'Who can be the biggest jerkoff' contest?
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday all but threatened President Trump’s safety if he returns to New York City in a rant responding to a published story that Trump is looking to pull federal funds from “lawless” cities including New York. Cuomo called an emergency press briefing within a half hour on Wednesday night to tear into Trump for the order, which cites New York’s rising murder rate and defunding of the NYPD.
“He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him,” the Democrat said, all but threatening the commander in chief. But Cuomo, who like Trump hails from Queens, wasn’t done. “He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don’t want to have anything to do with him.”

Lana Turner in a publicity photo for
'Slightly Dangerous' (1943)
During the late 1930s the MGM discovered actress Lana Turner, it was told at the time they made the discovery at a Hollywood drug store where she was drinking a soda and was asked if she wanted to star in pictures, to which she replied “I’ll have to ask my mother”.
Whether the story was a fabricationor not, it's a good one. Supposedly, as a sixteen-year-old student at Hollywood High School, Turner skipped a typing class and bought a Coke at the Top Hat Malt Shop located on the southeast corner of Sunset Boulevard and McCadden Place, where she was spotted by William R. Wilkerson, publisher of The Hollywood Reporter. Turner remarked “I was a scullery maid, a cheap Cinderella with no hope of a Pumpkin”.
Wilkerson was attracted by her beauty and physique, and referred her to the actor/comedian/talent agent Zeppo Marx. Marx’s agency immediately signed her on and introduced her to film director Mervyn LeRoy, who cast her in her first film, They Won’t Forget (1937).
Turner earned the nickname “The Sweater Girl” from her form-fitting attire in a scene in They Won’t Forget, Lana described this role as “A Thing” who “wore a tight sweater and her breasts bounced as she walked, a tight skirt and her buttlocks bounced. She moved sinuously, undulating fore and aft.”

Immigration status will no longer block hundreds of thousands of people in New Jersey from becoming licensed doctors, nurses, electricians, counselors, cosmetologists, and other professionals.
Gov. Phil Murphy on Tuesday signed a bill into law that allows immigrants to obtain a professional or occupational license in the Garden State even if they’re undocumented, as long as they meet all other requirements.

The hatred these people have
for Trump is truly remarkable.
Bill Clinton has joked about Trump digging in to the White House and refusing to concede even if he loses the election. Clinton said Trump would refuse to attend a potential Joe Biden inauguration, and instead would be 'stacking sandbags' in January 2021.
Trump was asked on July 19 if he would respect the election result and replied: 'I have to see. No, I'm not going to just say yes. I'm not going to say no, and I didn't last time either.'

I'm sure this has happened to you at least once or twice. I hadda get new seat covers for my truck.
It's a 2005 F-150 with 180,00 miles on it but still runs like a champ. I'l probably keep it for another 15 years if I can.
Anyway, the seat were showing their age and I couldn't clean them to my wife's satisfaction, so I ordered these online.
Only took about 20 minutes to install over the original seat covers and they look and work great. The package even comes with floor pads.
At this price it was a helluva good deal.
Time for you to do the same? You'll find these there, but if have a different year or model, you can go here and search from there:
