It's hard not to lead with Ukraine and one of the Biden clan...

 Even the venerable NY Slimes now admits that the laptop is legit...  

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, 
to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s really an honor and pleasure.”   


An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The blockbuster correspondence - which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” - is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer.

If your image of The Villages is that of a buncha old farts riding around in golf carts or stumbling along on walkers, toss that shit. These guys absofuckinlutely rocked The Villages last night with a nearly two-hour set that had every single person in the house dancing and singing along like nothing I've seen in a very long time. And it was fuckin' LOUD, too. 
Just a great show. These guys have their shit down to a science - didn't miss a single note in any song. Great to see all those old folk rockin' in to the night. Funniest thing I saw? The only two people that I saw leave during the show were a couple of twenty-somethings who probably got their tickets from grandma and Pop-pop...
... 

These guys get a fuckin' boner every time they find a new 'variant'.

Is that subtle? I said it is, Wifey says it's stupid. 'Course, she didn't 
get it either, but that's discussion for another day. Juss' sayin'...

Alaska GOP congressman Don Young, the longest-serving member of Congress — known as the Dean of the House — died on Friday night. He was 88.
Young's office confirmed on Friday night that the congressman "passed away today while traveling home to Alaska to be with the state and people that he loved."
"Don Young's legacy as a fighter for the state will live on, as will his fundamental goodness and his honor," his office said in a statement. "We will miss him dearly. His family, his staff, and his many friends ask Alaskans for their prayers during this difficult time."
During his time in office, Young advocated for long-lasting projects for the state of Alaska. As a freshman in Congress, he fought for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which now carries 1.8 million barrels of oil per day. He said that the pipeline was one of his biggest achievements as representative. 
Our system is seriously fucked if this guy - or anyone for that matter, regardless of party - can be in office for that length of time. It flies in the face of everything I've come to understand about how we should be represented in government.

The confirmation of bird flu at another Iowa egg-laying farm 
will force the killing of more than 5 million chickens.

Think beef prices are going crazy? Wait till you see what this shit does to chicken prices going forward. I saw a fascinating figure on these boids - we eat/consume/whatever 3 BILLION chickens a year in this country. That ten whole chickens per person every year. I'da actually thought the number was higher if I ever actually thought about crazy shit like that. I mean fuck - we eat chicken at least once a week if not more here, and it's just me and Barb.

"It was not merely a question of one citizen avoiding another, and of people almost invariably neglecting their neighbours and rarely or never visiting their relatives, addressing them only from a distance; this scourge had implanted so great a terror in the hearts of men and women that brothers abandoned brothers, uncles their nephews, sisters their brothers, and in many cases wives deserted their husbands"

The animated prequel for Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear features a relationship between two female characters, one voiced by three-time Emmy winner Uzo Aduba. A kiss between the two had originally been removed but following recent uproar related to Disney’s handling of both LGBTQ characters and the recent “don’t say gay” bill, it has reportedly been restored.
The move follows a letter released by LGBTQ Pixar employees, which claimed that Disney executives had insisted “overtly gay affection” was removed from all animated features.

If you keep electing idiots, they'll keep on appointing even bigger idiots. When will people learn?
NYC's new health commissioner, Dr. Ashwin Vasan, says mask mandates for kids under five will should remain in effect indefinitely. 'I would love nothing more than to send my son to daycare without a mask,' he said, adding: 'But as a scientist ... I want to keep him safe'. 
Vasan cited young children's ineligibility to get the COVID vaccine as support for his view on masking. The health expert also said he doesn't plan to drop the city's workplace vaccine mandate anytime soon. His comments came one day after Mayor Eric Adams told angry parents: 'I got this. They'll be unmasked'.

An Indian government official said on Friday that the country will increase its imports of Russian oil, allowing it to boost energy supplies at a discount as its economy struggles to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. The official, who was not authorized to talk to reporters and spoke on the condition of anonymity (so why the fuck is he/she talking?), said the latest purchase was three million barrels.
... 

By far his best line: 'If I knew I was gonna live 
this long I'da taken better care of myself'.

The level of hatred these people have for DJT should scare 
the fuck out of you if ya think about it enough.
