If ya need me, I'll be over here digging another trench...

 Sometimes, sticking to you guns isn't such a great idea after all...  

Whether you consider it an exercise in futility or something far worse, this hill they've chosen to die on can prove to be fatal to a lot of them. People on the left consistantly blame Trump for the shutdown, because, well, it's Trump's fault that Schmoozer won't even allow a vote to change to get things moving along - Hockhim won't even allow his guys to budge. Why on earth are they so willing to support a failed system (ObamaCare) that they know doesn't work, and - on top of that - insist that we provide health care at our expense to people who shouldn't even be here. 
The metaphor I was going for with the Alamo pic is this - with only a few exceptions, every single defender of the Alamo was killed in the effort. I  may not wish the defenders on the left to die (well, not all of 'em) but I do hope their steadfastness on this thing does them all a great deal of harm, if nothing else...

Hurricane Melissa has moved on from Jamaica. The storm is about 770 miles wide - which is close to the size of Texas. The incredibly powerful storm has sustained winds of 115 mph and is moving about 12 mph. The NHS said the storm will bring "damaging winds, flooding rains, and dangerous storm surge" as it moves over eastern Cuba. The storm is one of the strongest to ever form in the Atlantic after its sustained winds reached 185 mph. Hurricane Allen in 1980 had 190 mph winds.

80 years ago this week, my Father (who was home on leave and having just returned from the south Pacific and the Battle of Leyte Gulf) took his fiance - my Mother - to the '400 Club' in New York City. It's almost incomprehensible that my parents were ever 20 years old...

I just dumped DirectTV and now have Prime and Samsung TV - which is more than enough for me. Babs is okay with it also. If you already have Prime, it's a no-brainer for free TV. Click on that ad for more information about it. Once you get used to the remote, it's a piece of cake...

I know a number of people here in The Villages - where it is very affordable to live - who are older than me and yet still have to work at least part time to make ends meet. The vast majority of the are women - almost all widowed or divorced, who, honestly, didn't plan on living this long...

An intrepid storm chaser threw up while taking a bumpy ride through Hurricane Melissa. Matthew Cappucci, a senior meteorologist with MyRadarWX, was in the middle of trying to describe Hurricane Melissa when he started to lose his nerve and puked into a can.

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-CA) said the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific were a “lawless operation.”
 

Let's face it. Raskin is a leftie loonie flack who'd bullshit his grandmother just to get another piece of babka. If Trump invented babkas, Raskin'd say he hated 'em. They're all jerkoffs.

Jacqueline Smith - she of Charlie's Angels fame - turned 80 this week. 
If your grandmother looked that good you'd probably be living in her basement. Juss' sayin'. 
Nips and ticks aside, she looks friggin' amazing...

There sure is a lot of hatred over on that side...

  1. The budget hold out is over $1.5 Trillion dollars that the democrats want/need after DOGE uncovered the massive graft going out thru the NGOs. They uncovered and it was stopped.
    The democrats are really missing that cash and they are willing to do anything to get it back. Part of their "anything" is they are hoping that the 40+ million people who won't get their monthly food stamp money on Saturday will force the rest of us to give the democrats the $1.5 TRILLION dollars they are demanding.

  2. Trump forced these lefties to support the trafficking of drugs into this country, it's hilarious. The boats are in international waters and you can clearly see they aren't carrying any fishing gear. I don't think you can run a downrigger going that fast.

  3. Isn't gonna take much to make the Seattle Times wish they hadn't starting this parody contest. Their baseless imagination cannot compete with Biden's reality.

  4. Reference the pic of your mom and dad. My mom told me once while she and dad were on their honeymoon in 1941. They were in NYC in some fancy night club. And lo and behold who is sitting at the table next to them, but Benny Goodman!

  5. The people that are screaming that they will start stealing if they don't get their govt benefits is having no affect as there has been massive group thefts on businesses in various cities plus Judges are not putting people in prison. Working people are seeing nothing good with government benefits and taxes.
