Enjoy your three hots and a cot, dooshbag...

 His message was printed bodly on his cap in case you were wondering where his motivation comes from. Federal authorities have arrested a Minnesota man accused of participating in violent demonstrations at an ICE rally, with prosecutors charging him under federal civil rights statutes connected to the unrest outside a church earlier this month.
According to court documents, William Kelly was taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, 18 U.S.C. §248. The charges stem from what officials described as coordinated riots outside a St. Paul church that had been hosting an immigration policy event.
Kristi Noem confirmed the arrest in a social media post, writing, “William Kelly is being charged with conspiracy to deprive rights, a federal crime, and violating the FACE Act for his involvement in the St. Paul church riots.”
Well played, ICE, DHS and others. It's about time these jerkoffs started paying for the stupid shit they do. Let's hope this isn't the last of these guys...



 


So, how did cops and donuts get to be associated with each other?

 In the 1950's, late-night donut shops gave grave-shift cops 
a place to eat, rest or do paperwork...
 
Donut shops didn’t become cultural shorthand for police officers by accident. In the 1950s, most American cities had very few food businesses open past midnight. Diners often closed early, and fast‑food chains hadn’t yet taken over the landscape. Donut shops, however, needed to bake through the night so fresh pastries would be ready by morning. That meant their lights were on, the coffee was hot, and the doors were open when almost everything else was dark.
At the same time, police departments were expanding night‑shift patrols. Officers working those long, quiet hours needed somewhere safe, well‑lit, and predictable to take a break, write reports, or grab a quick snack. Donut shops fit the bill perfectly: they were inexpensive, welcoming, and, crucially, reliable. An officer could count on finding one open at 2 a.m. when every other storefront was shuttered.
Over time, this practical overlap turned into a cultural association. The sight of a patrol car parked outside a donut shop became common enough that it evolved into a running joke, then a stereotype. But beneath the humor is a simple bit of history: late‑night bakeries were among the only places offering warmth, caffeine, and a moment of rest to people working one of the toughest shifts in the city.

Ya want that hot dog with a side of bok choy?

Why don't they buy the White House while they're at it? When you think about Nathan's, your mind always goes to the Coney Island boardwalk. It's an American icon, and it's been an institution there since Nathan’s Famous was founded in 1916 by Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker as a five-cent hot dog stand in Coney Island, where it quickly became a local institution. 
I wasn't aware of it, but it turns out that Smithfiled is 100% owned by Hong Kong-based WH Groups. The company is the single largest pork producer in the world.  Over the decades, Nathan's evolved into a nationwide franchise known for its signature hot dogs and annual Fourth of July eating contest, a tradition that has become a fixture of American summer celebrations. Now it's wholly owned by them. 
 


I wonder what Joey Chestnut thinks about this.  He's the reigning King of Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest. The event is held annually in Coney Island, New York. 
Chestnut holds the world record for eating 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, which he set in 2021. 
He has won the coveted "Mustard Belt" a record 17 times. In his most recent victory in 2025, he consumed 70.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes...

Rock that flute, Brother...

This video was originally released on The Marshall Tucker Band DVD "Live From The Garden State 1981".  This concert was filmed on August 4, '81 at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. 
 
Here's story you may enjoy. When I got out of the Army, I travelled all over the country for a couple of years, and at one point I landed in Los Angeles. One night a guy I knew told me Marshall Tucker was gonna do a surprise set at the Whiskey and asked me if I wanted  to go. We went, the band rocked, and after the show, he told me that Toy Cladwell - the founder and lead guitarist of the group was his cousin, and he said he was gonna go back stage to say hi, so of course I tagged along. I ended up bullshitting with Toy and he asked if I wanted to go on the road with the band. I of course said yes, but couldn't leave right away with them. 
Two days later I hitchhiked to Albuquerque and jumped in with them as they went farther north and west. I worked as a roadie and gopher for the band for six weeks - maybe one of the best summers of my life. Sleeping in the back of a UHaul box truck, getting high and gettin' laid - it was a fuckin' pisser of a time.
Flash forward to this show - I was there. Before they finished their encore, I weaseled my way back stage and hooked up with one of the roadies - guy named Geogie-Porgie who actually friggin' remembered me from that summer nine years prior. 
He got me backstage, where I ran in to Toy again and he remembered me too! We had a coupla beers together, but I hadda split. I'd left my then-girlfriend out in the audience. Suffice to say when I told her what had happened she was REALLY pissed. That was our last date.
 Great memories...

Oh, my God - the sky is falling! and other hyberoles about Florida...

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally, used for emphasis, dramatic effect, or humor, like saying "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" to show extreme hunger. It's a rhetorical device in speech and literature that adds creativity and impact, highlighting feelings or ideas far beyond their actual scale, such as a politician claiming to be the "greatest city on earth" or a character's eyes being "bright enough to make the stars want to hire them". 
This is how the press is reporting the housing 'crisis' in Florida these days. The reality is people have lost interest in the whole condo thing. Improvement/repair assessment costs, HOAs, sky-rocketing insurances and the fact that a condo building collapsed in Miami a few years ago because of lack of maintenance all contribute to that segment of the 'dilemna', but the rest of the real estate market here is very strong. Nearly a million single family homes have been built here in the last ten years, and they sell pretty much as fast as they get their CO's.
The only reason you see headlines like this above is because they have a product to sell - their media outlet, and most of them have decided that scaring the fuck out of you is the way to get you to pay attention. Most of us are smart enough to look at these reports for what they are - sensationistic blather. Juss' sayin'...

They're everywhere, yeah, but Maine? Yikes...

 
The amazing thing about this - at least to me - is the the Feds know exactly where to go to grab these scumbags. Makes ya think the Staties also know, but won't do a fuckin' thing about it. How does it serve the people of the State - any State - to allow these miscreants to live amongst the good people of the State, knowing what dooshbags these guys really are, all in the name of some twisted ideal of being 'himane' to sub-himans. I don't get it. 
On the first day, officers arrested around 50 migrants, ICE Deputy Assistant Director Patricia Hyde told Fox News. “We have approximately 1,400 targets here in Maine,” Hyde told the outlet. 
...  

...  

Some of the migrants ICE is trying to catch in the state are accused of raping children, drug trafficking and assaults, according to Hyde. They are from Senegal, Somalia, Honduras, Guatemala, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other stories, she said.

Everythting is relative? Okay, but this is a little too much to grasp...

Part of the reason why I'm so fascinated with all that's being discovered between Hubble and Webb and now the Rubin Observatory is what they're showing us. We're exponentially expanding our knowledge of the vastness of the Universe, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. 
I've never been one of those 'And on the seventh day he rested' kinda guys because all of that just doesn't make sense. We're only now starting to grasp the concept of and endless, timeless, ever-expanding universe. I love it, even if my feeble little brain can't grasp the whole concept of a Universe that goes on forever and ever until it reaches a point where time and space are meaningless. Wow...
...  

Now do you understand why they don't call it 'Global Warming' anymore? 
There's a special place in hell for people like Al Gore, don'tcha think?

That's funny. It's still kinda hard to believe he was a white guy...

Gotta get the bread and milk! Looks like the old COVID Toilet Paper Run, doesn't it? Hey, at least they're taking this one seriously...
Grocery stores are quickly running out of supplies as frantic customers stock up ahead of the Arctic blast and subsequent snowstorm expected to barrel across the country. Forecasters warned that the weather system, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, will send many cities’ temperatures plummeting well below zero - and could dump anywhere from one to two feet of snow in some parts of the eastern US.

In light of what's happening all around us lately, you 
might want to get one for your wife or daughter...

When you see a headline like his, does your brain work the same way mine does? I go straight to 'Who are these friggin' 'experts' and what are they 'expert' in? Seriously, these so-called experts are never, ever named, and 99 times out of 100 they're most likely some eggheaded bullshit college liberal. And it begs the question 'Is the US in 'democratic peril' as if that is a legitimate question. The US is in peril because some guy before DJT let 20+ million scumbag freeloaders in to the country, but do they ever address that in the same light? Of course not.

A little 'I just got implants' humor on my part...

No matter what he accomplishes...

Think a bit about this jerkoff. He's gone from American icon to President of the 'I'm a jerkoff with too much to say club'. They spend their lives with people blowing smoke up their asses on a daily basis until they get to the point that they start believing in their own self-importance. Okay - you can write songs, Big fuckin' whoop. I'd say 'shut up and sing', but he hasn't sung a note in 20 years. You know what I mean. Juss' sayin'...
