Has there ever been a President...

 Has there ever been a President so hated - so vilified - 
as Trump? I think only Nixon would come close...  

A statue of President Trump holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein appeared briefly on D.C.'s National Mall this week, only to be removed after less than a day. The bronze-painted installation, titled Best Friends Forever, depicts the two men smiling at each other, each with an arm and leg raised as if in mid-frolic.
"In Honor of Friendship Month, we celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend,' Jeffrey Epstein," reads the plaque, emblazoned with hands making a heart shape. September is widely recognized as friendship month.
A group called 'The Secret Handshake' (A group that evidently consists of fewer than five people) claimed responsibility for the statue after it arrived on the National Mall on Tuesday morning. And while a National Park Service permit issued for the statue allowed it to remain there until Sunday evening, eyewitness video showed U.S. Park Police hauling it onto a truck before sunrise on Wednesday.

In case you were wondering. One guy came kinda close...

"Mental health care, the way I think about it is, that we have to understand health care. You can't just think that the body starts from the neck down. We also need health care for the neck up."

Sad news to relay to pin-up fans: Claudia Cardinale passed away yesterday at the age of 87. She'll be remembered for many iconic screen roles in films like "8½", the original "The Pink Panther", and "Once Upon a Time in the West".

Think about this. On February 28, 1983, M*A*S*H bowed out after 11 seasons, airing a special two-and-a-half hour episode watched by 77 percent of the television viewing audience - nearly 100 million people. It was the largest percentage ever to watch a single TV show up to that time.

Beyond Meat just launched its new Beyond Chicken Pieces - now stocked at more than 1,900 Kroger stores across the country - offering a plant-based alternative to unbreaded chicken. 
Okay - put the brakes on. How did we get so fuckin' confused that we would think we need to create a product like this? This shit and that stuff we talked about last night -the fake meat shit.
Seriously - if your kid ever came to you and said they wouldn't eat meat anymore because it's cruel to animals or some other lamebrain shit, wouldn't you just disown them on the spot? If I tried I couldn't name the number of people I know personally - may be well in to the thousands. I do not know one single vegetarian - at least none that I'm aware of anyway. Okay - I know of one - a daughter of a friend of mine whom I have never met. Does that count?

That's some serious Oceans 11 shit. Can't tell for sure, but I'd probably bet the ranch on the fact that most - if not all of these guys - are the usual suspects. Juss' sayin'...

This portable tire inflator is marked down to
 $ 18.98 and you can keep in the glove box.
That's almost half price! 
We got one for Barbara's car - 
even she can use it. Works great...

File this one under the ole' 'No news is good news' heading. Scientists - probably teetotalers themselves - have determined that imbibing (don'tcha just love that word) even the smallest amounts of booze can raise your risk of dementia, according to the largest combined observational and genetic study to date on the subject. The findings counter previous research showing that light-to-moderate drinking might protect against cognitive decline.
The international team of researchers behind the new study suggests that cutting out drinking altogether may be the best way to minimize the risk of dementia later in life, with increasing levels of alcohol consumption matching an increasing likelihood of developing dementia of any kind. "Our study findings support a detrimental effect of all types of alcohol consumption on dementia risk, with no evidence supporting the previously suggested protective effect of moderate drinking," write the researchers in their published paper.

This is the exact solar charger that I have. I leave it
on the table out in the lanai. Always stays fully
charged and charges my phone super fast.
And it's also a flashlight.

  3. I'm going to call BS on the dementia study. Two of my uncles and my grandpa on my dad's side had dementia and they never drank alcohol period. Grandpa was so violent they had to commit him to the State Hospital [1955-1956] but my two uncles were just calm and confused. Dad had maybe two or three drinks per year and never had those symptoms and died at 78 when a neighbor crashed her car into the one Dad was driving. Everyone reacts differently to alcohol and other outside influences but to call all alcohol consumption dangerous is dangerous.

    1. I know people who smoked their entire life and never got cancer, lived to be 100. I know people who never smoked and died or cancer young. So ... anecdotal information is not science. No one claimed 100% dementia risk. No one claimed 0% dementia risk.

  4. there's likely a genetic influence as well

  5. You do figure stuff out by contemplation. I don't know how many times at work in my tech job I needed to use someone as a sounding board. Prayer is little more than contemplation and using "God" as a sounding board.

    The scientists that don't think (contemplate) before acting usually F it up.
