So here I am in the middle of no where...

 I get up, make tea, sit down at my desk and turn on my 'puter. 
This is the first thing I see...
This is the lead item on my news feed. You tell me why I would ever give a fuck about something like this half-way around the world. The bigger issue is - why do the newshounds at CNN put this front and center on their news cycle? What message are they trying to send me - here in the middle of no where in Florida - telling me about a school shooting over there? What is the relevence of that to anything in my life? Nothing, that's what.
What it is, however, is a classic example of the prurient nature of news hawks. They only want to show you the worst of humanity, even if they have to  go searching for it. And you wonder why I don't watch the news on TV...

That's subtle. We like subtle, don't we?

Hong, considered the favorite to take the Democrat nomination in Tuesday's primary,  did a 180 on turkey day in an interview where she promised she doesn't want 'to cancel Thanksgiving.' 'My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, so there you have it. I don't want to cancel it, I actually love it,' she told Politico. 
Hong, a 37-year-old newcomer supported by Hasan Piker and Ilhan Omar, admitted she's 'kind of a curmudgeon when it comes to holidays in general' before trying to pivot back to her campaign's talking points. 
Kinda makes ya wonder if there ain't something fucked up in the drinking water out there. doesn't it?

We're fairly well in to the season and have had only two named storms so far. I don't know if that's a good omen or a bad one. Remember, some of the most devastating storm have come at the end of September/beginning of October.
Four years ago, we had a hurricane here in Florida - and elsewhere, of course. Hurricane Irma was a long-lived system from Aug. 30 to Sept. 12, 2017. The storm ended up making a total of seven landfalls here in the US.
About a week or ten days after the storm passed us here in NoCenFl, the Babs and I went to Ireland to visit my brother and Caroline. Three days after we landed, Irma struck Ireland. Yes - they can last that long over water if circumstances are correct. The storm rode the gulf stream across the Atlantic. How's THAT for weather karma, huh?

What does it mean to be held in contempt of Congress? Contempt of Congress is a federal misdemeanor in which an individual willfully disobeys or impedes a congressional investigation. A contempt of Congress charge may be levied against someone if they fail to appear before a committee after being subpoenaed, refuse to produce required documents, or refuse to answer questions related to an investigation. 
Congress does not hold the power to prosecute or convict someone of the crime; instead, the House or Senate can vote to approve a resolution finding a person in contempt and refer the matter to the executive branch for prosecution.

  1. You know how F'ing stupid it is to keep wallowing in the past? Those in power when your "we were hateful ans stupid" picture was taken are all safely in their grave. The millennial generation actually saw people as individuals, and what did they get for their troubles? Sucker punched and told all white men are evil. F that. They are being blamed and punished for things they didn't do -- judged as a group because of their skin color. Straight up racism. Of course there is an entire industry built on keeping racism alive and well -- don't feed these racists.

  3. The Thailand shooting thing is exactly that. A shooting so they can blame guns again. They don't report muslim machete or knife attacks, beheadings, rapes or murders ever. I wonder why.

  4. "...finding a person in contempt and refer the matter to the executive branch for prosecution." Dirty Biden doj sent Bannon and Navarro to prison. Worst of the worst Eric Holder never charged.

  5. When we were kids we had imaginations and could take simple things and be entertained. Electronics have destroyed kids imaginations.
