Whenever you start feeling sorry for yourself, maybe you should think about these poor, brave bastards.
By the afternoon of December 21, 1944, all seven main roads to Bastogne were cut off by German troops and by midnight American units in the city were surrounded. They were outnumbered by about five to one and also lacked warm clothing. They also had so little supplies and ammunition that on December 22, 1944, artillery ammunition was limited to ten rounds per gun per day.
Bad weather meant that the defenders of the city could not be supported or supplied by the air. The Germans had also captured most of the Allied medical supplies and personnel. The situation looked bleak, but they held their ground. In an attempt to change the situation, German General von Lütwitz sent a surrender message to the "USA Commander" on December 22, 1944 at 11:30 am, delivered by four of his men under a white flag. General Anthony McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne Division, still half asleep read the note and exclaimed "Aw, nuts." So they wrote: “To the German commander. NUTS! The American commander.”

I don't quite know how to read into this. On the one hand, it's very generous, but he also knows that that kind of ridiculous money-printing by the Fed is gonna have serious ramifications down the road, between higher taxes and a weaker dollar. I'm sure he means well, but I bet this has more to do with a 'fuck-you' to the Dems. Wuddya think about this?

The 6,000 page, $900 billion stimulus package COVID-19 "relief" bill is exactly what one would expect from a dysfunctional, tone-deaf Congress: a pork-filled cluster fuck filled with anything and everything that has nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic or relief.

No one in any of these big (especially Democrat-run) cities is thinking about the long-term implications of this whole pandemic thing. Their economies are being destroyed for decades to come by the idiotic edicts and decisions they're making. Who will hold their feet to the fire when this is all said and done?

Milky Way may be full of aliens who annihilated themselves, study says.
No one can say for certain whether extraterrestrial civilizations exist, but one new study suggests the Milky Way is full of them, though many could be dead.
he research, which can be read on the arXiv repository, was written by experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology and Santiago High School in Corona, Calif. It uses the famous Drake Equation and determined that intelligent life may have emerged some 8 billion years after the Milky Way formed.
Again I ask - where can I get a job doing 'studies'?
I'd be really good at it.

An L.A. County Sheriff's deputy allegedly had sex on the Universal Studios lot, and the guy had his mic open for all to hear ... and the recording is now the talk of the department.
Apparently one of the participants was a movie buff, because the encounter went down right by the Bates Motel on the lot. You hear a woman moaning as a dispatcher from the Sheriff's station repeatedly tries to get her deputy's attention, telling him he had an open mic. The deputy doesn't respond ... but the woman did, throughout the clip.
I usta see ads like this all the time in magazines like Boys Life and Popular Mechanics back in the early '60's...

Another has-been vying for relevance? Yup.
The Republican former governor of New Jersey, Chris 'Tippin' the scales' Christie, was speaking to Fox Tuesday. 'The fact is Joe Biden won the majority of the electoral votes,' he told the network. Pardoned General Flynn issued his call for martial law in a chat on Newsmax last week - another guy striving for self-importance.
Christie told Fox Tuesday: 'That's why a guy like Mike Flynn should not be within five miles of the White House, let alone in the oval office providing advice'.

This may be the Sunshine State and all that happy shit, but Florida does get a little nipply this time of year. In the mornings it can be in the low 40's for quite a while till the sun kicks in. What I do - kinda like Sheldon on Big Bang - is wear a long-sleeve T-shirt under a short-sleeve one. That way if it does get a little toasty during the day (usually gets up to mid 70-ish), I just peel one off and I'm good for the rest of the day.
I found a good source for a great t-shirt.

Although much of what Trump has done since the election is grandstanding and stupid too, his coming out against this bill is justified. #1, 600.00 per person is dog shit money and you and I and others like us don't deserve a penny of it anyway. There is 10 million set aside in this bill to help teach Pakistani's to understand transgenders. WTF IS THAT ABOUT?? There is a ton more set aside for Sudan, don't know why,perhaps to help count the grains of sand in the Sahara, they want illegal aliens to be able to collect money also, and there is a ton more of this stupid type of Pork in it.Think about it, how much will someone's life either get easier or better with 600 lousy dollars. 30 years ago in my heyday I'd run through 600.00 in a good day's drinking,eating, & gambling without even batting an eye an if we won money at the track we'd spend double that
ReplyDeleteSad but true
ReplyDeleteTrump's point is to kick the SWAMP in the nuts. This pushback is waiving red meat in front of the far left that panders to the perpetual handout class, while exposing all of the rotten pork as stated above. This forces the uniparty to fight itself. The defunding of ICE, the increase in H1Bs the $$$ for all of the museums and arts, the bullshit foreign aid that is nothing but graft and corruption. Borrowing money on our backs and giving us a dime back. Fuck you Congress, and FUCK YOU Nancy Peking Pelosi, Swallowell, Biden, Harris and their ilk.
ReplyDeleteSocks-
ReplyDelete1) You could just not have any socks, but your weather forecast says you're not far enough south for that...plus you still work.
2) You could socks all the same color.
3) You could just not care..
Down below freezing? You're not far enough south...

If you're interested in Presidential pardons (it seems the NY Post is) here is something to compare Trump to..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Barack_Obama
>>By the end of his second and final term on January 20, 2017, United States President Barack Obama had exercised his constitutional power to grant the executive clemency—that is, "pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve"[1]—to 1,927 individuals convicted of federal crimes. Of the acts of clemency, 1,715 were commutations (including 504 life sentences) and 212 were pardons.[2][3] Most individuals granted executive clemency by Obama had been convicted on drug charges,[4] and had received lengthy and sometimes mandatory sentences at the height of the war on drugs.[5]
Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office.[6][7] He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined.[2][8]<<
