In as much as Blogger will not let me upload new pics, I will try to keep you as up-to-date on nonsense as I can...
I've mentioned the town of Glenties in Ireland more than a few times here. Anyway, pre-COVID, Glenties had five bookmakers on their Main Street, along with a total ofeleven pubs and restaurants. This pic was taken in the bar of the Highlands Hotel at the head of Main Street. That's me and TJ picking ponies between races. We'd pick a horse, go next door to the bookmaker and place the bet, go back in to the bar and watch the race on the Telly. Bookmaking is 100% legal in the UK.
PS: COVID killed (closed) six small pubs and all of the bookmakers in Glenties. They're gone and probably never will come back.

As if to say 'I'll make them an offer they can't refuse', President Trump headlined the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention Wednesday night, boasting about his record and offering every American $5,000 if Republicans hold control of Congress in the Nov. 3 election.Trump implored listeners to “pretend that I’m on the ballot” so he can “finish the job” - presenting a stark choice between “radical left communists” and a continuation of his populist agenda. The president offered Americans a major financial incentive to stick with him in what he called the “best part” of his energetic barnstorming-style 107-minute speech.
"If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our tremendous economic success… I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," Trump said.
That is incredibly distressing to me. Honest to God I think I've lost faith in him. He cannot buy my vote with cash. No one can. What the fuck is he thinking saying shit like that? God that's distressing...

Four out of five people who bought into Hunter Biden’s new meme coin saw their investments go up in smoke during the cryptocurrency’s spectacular launch-day collapse on Wednesday.
One mystery trader turned a roughly $250,000 bet into $1.18 million within minutes. An individual trading under a pseudonym spent about $250,000 to acquire 9,124 of Biden’s $LAPTOP tokens before unloading 8,480 of them minutes later for about $1.18 million, according a blockchain analysis by Datavault AI. That amounted to a gain of roughly $930,000 before transaction costs.

The mastermind of 9/11 - Osama Bin whatsits - has been dead for 15 years, killed by US special forces after a decade-long manhunt. But as the 25th anniversary of the atrocity is marked tomorrow, experts warn Osama bin Laden’s terror network is now more capable than it was before the Twin Towers fell, with Britain firmly in its sights.
Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan in 2011, while successive strikes wiped out his successor Ayman Al-Zawihiri and much of the organisation’s senior command. Yet al-Qaeda survived and quietly rebuilt.
It now has thousands of fighters, new training camps and wealthy branches spread across Africa, Afghanistan and the Middle East. Its extremists have weaponised drones and begun exploiting artificial intelligence, while one branch is feared to be researching weapons of mass destruction.
At the same time Chris Phillips, the former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, believes the UK is now an easier target than it was in the years after 9/11. He said: “Britain is an easier target now. You attack what you can get access to and we remain a major Western target.

Trump is gambling with our money. If Republicans win he will give us $5,000 of OUR dollars if they loose he looses nothing.
ReplyDeleteIn reality the country is already $40 trillion in debt and running a $2.5 trillion annual deficit. Every new expenditure goes straight into the credit card. $5,000 times 350 million Americans is an additional $1.8 trillion new additional debt.
Trump is promising that if we vote for him he will make our problems worse.
That is only if he pays. This one will likely go the same way as the DOGE dividend, the tariff checks and the no new wars promise.
Israel is behind all the Muslim invasions. They are behind it all.
ReplyDeleteThat one guy has obviously never been married. He said, "if your hormones get out of whack" and not "when your hormones get out of whack".

DeleteWho would have been or will be a better choice than President Trump?
(only those with a realistic chance of winning the presidential election count).
I don't have any skin the game, but I would rather see you guys get the $5000 than for it to be wasted into some African/Feed the hungary scam that will half go to a local warlord and half to democrat pockets.
