And, I am thinking, a lesson learned on the cheap for the young guy….

So I am loading groceries into the car late morning today…. Hear a bit of commotion, and look over to see an elderly man telling the kid in the beater car to watch his door….I think the kid had whacked the door of the old man’s car next to him.

Being all curious and shit, I watched and listened. I was close enough to hear things clearly once I faced ’em.

“Hey, don’t hit my car with your door!”

“Do something about it, old man!, Fuck you, do something or shut up….DO SOMETHING!”  he got right in the old man’s face His also-scruffy looking companion hooted and hollered at the old man.

There were about 4 guys in the parking lot, me and the rest, watching to see if we were gonna have to intervene,,,,,but no,

Old dude nodded, walked back to his car, started it, opened the trunk, walked back to the trunk, got a friggin’ baseball bat (a nice hickory one) out of the trunk, walked up to the young lowlife looking loudmouth kid who had started things….., “oofed” him in the solar plexus with the small end of the bat (hard enough to sit him down on his ass), proceeded to take about 4 whacks down the side of the shitbox car, got the windshield, the door, the mirror and a taillight. Looked over at the other guy, saw that he had no fight in him, sneered, put the bat into his trunk, closed it, got into the driver’s seat, backed out (carefully not driving over the not-so-tough guy sitting in between the cars) and drove off as casual as you please.

Everyone turned and went back about our business. I’m not sure if the cops were called ’cause I left shortly after that. But I’m pretty sure none of us saw anything anyway, if ya know what I mean.

I haven’t yet seen anything in the local paper (online) either.

I think the young loudmouth “tough” guy got a lesson he’ll remember for a while. He’s lucky it didn’t cost him his teeth.

Seems that Biden’s pick for the FAA administrator isn’t a pilot, doesn’t know anything about aviation, and honestly is completely ignorant about all things aviation.

But, Like “Mayor Pete” he’s politically reliable, so there’s that…..

Just the kind of guy we need overseeing the FAA…..and he will, of course, be reporting to his boss: Pete the Incompetent. I feel safer already. We need more clueless Democrats running federal agencies. I

But hey, he’s black, so there won’t be any racism involved, right?

I asked Biden's nominee for FAA Administrator 7 basic questions about aviation policy.

He went 0 for 7.

We can't have an FAA Administrator who needs on the job training. @SenateCommerce pic.twitter.com/nzGiEUxr8w

Where do they find these useless idiots?

Would have gleefully killed their cats, just sot they could say they were helping end the crisis and to be seen as being more Socially Responsible. Like masking and Vaxxing, they’d have jumped on the bandwagon early to show how good they were, all the while telling other non-compliers how they were socially irresponsible and were gonna kill the rest of humanity.

UK cat cull was considered early in Covid crisis, ex-minister says
James Bethell says government considered whether all pet cats might have to be put down to contain virus

Of course, those same folks…you know, the ones that clamored for forced “Vaccinations” would then have insisted that the government do the culling of the pet cats….(Easy to do in Britain, where the population is effectively disarmed and much more compliant) than in  the US, where some folks might have had other ideas about killing the family pet…..and expressed their wish to not participate……kinetically, shall we say.

But you know those sick, damaged, unthinking, ever so socially compliant liberal go-alongs, the ones that were so keen on putting the non vaccinated in camps…..that repeated the government lies about masking and Ivermectin and vaccines and “Social Distancing”…..that wanted those of us non-vaccinated to be kept out of public spaces and unemployed ….would have gladly killed their own pets to be seen being good Social Citizens and cheered the killing of their neighbor’s pets by the authorities.

Soon yer gonna have to wait until 70 to collect it.

But, of course, no proposed cuts to welfare and the other handouts…..

WTF? At least when it comes to Social Security people have some “Skin” in the game….We’ve paid into it (even if it has been mismanaged). Welfare they just give away someone else’s money….Why no cuts there?

If they are going to make people wait until 70 to retire, then FIRST they need to cut the freebies that they give people, especially illegals. Take some of THAT money and put it towards Social Security. Same-Same “Foreign Aid”….especially Ukraine and China and Palestine and Israel and India and Taiwan.

Funny how the hard working citizens of the United States always come last in the eyes of the politicians, innt?

Question: If they change the age to70, can I sue for Breach of Contract? It was 65 when I started  being forced to contribute..

Of course, it appears that this was at best an amateurish attempt at getting an “explosive” past security…..or was a red herring (Read the description to understand why I say this)

Man, 40, is in FBI custody after TSA found an explosive device hidden in the lining of his checked bag as it was being loaded onto an Allegiant flight from Pennsylvania to Florida

Seriously? If the news story is correct, then why would one have “Two GFCI outlets taped together” unless you wanted to draw attention? This kinda smells, really. Almost as if someone wanted the device(s) to be found.

I expect that we will soon learn all about his White Supremacy Right-Wing leanings and all that.

And profits decrease, and cuts gotta be made….

It is always the unproductive that get laid off first. “Trimming the deadwood” and all that.

Diversity Workers Being Phased Out Amid Corporate Job Cuts

At the end of the day, if you don’t contribute to the bottom line, then there really is no need for you to be on the staff. And the Diversity/Equity/Inclusion folks were just window dressing, after all. Everybody knew it…and now it is being proven. No one thinks that they are worth anything.
