This is what Dems are calling another 'peaceful protest'. Los Angeles police made multiple arrests after violent agitators ignored dispersal orders Friday and pummeled officers with rocks and bottles during “National Shutdown” anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests.Chaotic scenes unfolded on Friday night in Los Angeles as protesters carrying Mexican and American flags clashed with police while demonstrating against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.
Protesters stormed the outside of a federal prison in downtown Los Angeles and came face-to-face with police officers, who protected themselves behind shields before unleashing pepper balls and tear gas. One dramatic image depicted a protester striking an officer's shield with a skateboard. Another revealed police firing non-lethal rounds at protesters in an effort to disperse them.
“We had hoped that demonstrations today would be peaceful, however, as you can see in this video, the violent agitators invited LAPD due to their actions,” the department wrote.
My Florida coons'll beat your coons every day...
A homeowner in Florida secretly captured two raccoons comfortably lounging on a flamingo pool float in a backyard swimming pool. Raccoons are strong swimmers and are often drawn to pools during warm weather, especially at night, to cool off or explore new environments.
These animals are highly adaptable and commonly move through residential neighborhoods in Florida while searching for food and water. Inflatable pool floats can provide an easy resting spot, allowing raccoons to stay afloat without much effort.
Another homeowner in Florida captured a candid porch moment when a raccoon became curious about a pair of sunglasses left on an outdoor table. Raccoons are highly intelligent and known for using their front paws to explore unfamiliar objects, often picking them up to inspect texture and movement.
In residential areas across Florida, raccoons frequently visit porches and patios while searching for food or water, and they may investigate everyday items left outside. This behavior is driven by curiosity rather than play, as raccoons rely heavily on touch to understand their surroundings.
Moments like these highlight how wildlife continues to adjust to human spaces, offering a rare look at the playful and curious side of animals living near suburban areas.

What's faster than the speed of light? You'd be surprised - it's actually us. Sorta...
According to report just released from NASA, they've determined that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, and this expansion is happening faster than the speed of light. However, this doesn't violate Einstein's theory of relativity, which states that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light through space.
Here's why: Space itself is expanding: The expansion isn't about objects moving through space; it's about the space between objects expanding.
No object is exceeding the speed limit: While the distance between galaxies is increasing faster than the speed of light, the galaxies themselves are not moving faster than the speed of light through space.
Think of it like blowing up a balloon with dots on it. The dots are moving away from each other, but they're not moving through the balloon's material at a speed faster than the balloon's expansion.

Everything you didn'y know about divorce is true...
Some people would dispute those facts, especially guys whose wives had sharks for divorce lawyers, but I can't speak to that, me being still with my first non-ex.
D'ja ever wonder what causes the most divorces?
They call the most common reasons 'The four horsemen of the apocolypse'. The "Four Horsemen" that predict divorce are criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling.
According to some touchy-feely divorce 'experts', you can improve relationships by using "I feel" at the beginning of statements - like 'I feel you're busting my fuckin' balls too much, Honeypoo lambiekins' and appreciating your partner's positive qualities - if you can still find any.
Taking responsibility for breaking furniture and other shit's always a good non-starter, and finding ways to calm down - like drinking heavily and smoking a shitload of weed can help reduce conflict. Having a stash of quaaludes doesn't hurt, either.
Need any more advice after the fact? Feel free to leave a note under the wipers on my truck. Happy to help however I can...

WTF is leptospirosis you ask? It has something to do with mouse piss, I think...
Minneapolis just keeps on making the news...
FDA officials have recalled almost 2,000 products from food and drink to beauty and pet items over fears of contamination with animal waste. Shoppers across three states have been urged to “destroy the products as soon as possible”.
Gold Star Distribution, Inc recalled thousands of items, the FDA said in an initial consumer warning in December “due to the presence of rodent and avian contamination.” The Minneapolis-based facility was found to be “operating under insanitary conditions.”
Officials added that rodent urine and faeces as well as bird droppings were found in areas where “medical devices, drugs, human food, pet food, and cosmetic products were held.” “These conditions create a significant risk that products held at the facility may have been contaminated with filth and harmful microorganisms,” the recall notice states.
The vast number of impacted products include Cheerios, Gatorade, Arizona Iced Tea and even medication like Advil, Tylenol, and Nyquil. Other snacks include Pringles, Lucky Charms Cereal, Snickers and Jif Crunchy Peanut Butter.
Shoppers can find a full list of recalled items here - all 44 pages of items. Yikes.
So they don't know if anything is bad, but throwing in that old COVID-era mantra, they say use an 'over-abundance of caution' and throw the shit away. Wow. Is anybody re-imbursing anybody for all the shit they want us to ditch? Yeah, didn't think so...

This is NOT a recruitment ad, trust me. Just a FYI...
If you're deciding whether to buy or rent a home in The Villages in 2026, you're not alone. What used to be a simple answer has become more difficult as the economy continues to drift from historical norms.
Previously, it was common knowledge that buying was the more affordable choice, with long-term benefits generally outweighing the initial costs. But that assumption has shifted. After the pandemic threw housing markets off kilter, prices ballooned and mortgage rates climbed, straining affordability nationwide. Now, the typical buyer needs to earn far more than the typical renter to afford a median-priced home in many cities, leading the homeowner population to stall.
So what does buying vs. renting look like in The Villages right now? To find out, Redfin Real Estate looked at the income required to afford a typical home over a typical apartment - called the "income premium." For example, an income premium of 10% means a household needs to earn 10% more to buy than to rent, while a premium of -10% means renting is cheaper than buying.

The world is upside down. Again...
Think about that for a bit. These people hate Donald Trump so much that they'd actually and actively protest the organization that's responsible for protecting our borders. There is no other way to look at what's going on.
Organizers, led by the national grassroots organization 50501 (any idea who may be funding this organization?), say today’s protests are a response to a series of recent deaths involving federal immigration agents, including the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month, the homicide of Geraldo Campos in an immigration detention facility in Texas and the shooting of Keith Porter Jr by an off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Los Angeles.
Activists said the killings reflect what they see as a broader pattern of excessive force, detention abuses and the militarization of immigration enforcement.
“The national day of action is about fighting back against the escalations that the Trump administration has taken against the American people over the past year,” said Hunter Dunn (a personification of everything DTS), a national press coordinator for 50501 and organizer in southern California. “Reports about the killings of Porter and Campos, the ones not captured on camera, and so many others have pierced the veil for many people who until now were unaware of how bad things had gotten.”
This is 50501. Will they still exist on February 6th or will they morph in to something else anti-Trump. At some point, hopefully, either a civic-minded individual or maybe our FBI will get involved in finding out where the money is coming from to fund operations like this one. Juss' sayin'...

Johnson’s remarks were part of a broader announcement establishing “ICE-free zones” across Chicago, where city property and participating private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for federal immigration raids. The executive order mandates signage and legal protocols to prevent federal agents from using city facilities for enforcement actions.
The mayor also claimed that volunteers across Chicago are risking their lives to protect families from being separated, stating that some are “putting themselves at risk of being shot and killed by the federal government.”

TEXAS JUDGE IN CUFFS: The tables have turned. Judge Rosie Speedlin-Gonzalez - the first openly gay judge in Bexar County - was just arrested and indicted for abusing her power.
THE INCIDENT: When a defense attorney tried to advise her client, the judge snapped, accusing her of "coaching." When the lawyer pushed back, Speedlin-Gonzalez didn't just overrule her - she ordered the attorney handcuffed and thrown in the jury box like a criminal.
THE FALLOUT: Now, the judge is facing felony charges for unlawful restraint. While she has previously claimed she was "targeted" for her Pride flags, prosecutors say this arrest is about one thing: a judge acting like she is above the law. Justice served?
