The DNC folks

Just can’t stop lying, can they?

 

“He had a cold”

“Just a Bad Day”

“Fatigue”

“Fully able to continue his duties”

DO they really think anyone who has more than 2 working neurons is gonna believe the lies? Or is it just to convince the folks who would vote for the Nominee no matter who he was or even if they were dead?

Remember:

As you do whatever you do on this July 4th, please remember the reason this date is a holiday…..The day we celebrate as the day our nation was birthed. Like most births, it came with blood and pain, but in the end, there was a nation like no other on the planet. This was the date on the document the declared the United States

The Declaration, and the Constitution…. those documents are what set this nation apart from all others.

The Declaration told the world, and the King of England, that we were no longer a vassal state.

Thus we have Independence Day.

(While it really should be Sept 17…(the date of the Constitution) that celebrates as the birth of our country, we chose to do so on July 4th (although even using the Declaration, it should really be the 2nd))

 

I only wish people would refer to it as “Independence Day”, rather than “The 4th of July” so that they would remember WHY we celebrate.

500+ spam comments

I just did bulk erase.

 

I tried not to lose too many legit comments, but it is likely that some got caught up.

If yours was one of them, I apologize. Feel free to repost your comment if it was caught up in cleaning the spam.

I can’t wait:

Like Donald Trump only with a “D” after his name….will they go after him like they piled onto DJT?

 

“the perma-tanned Californian is an undeniably oleaginous and sleazy character whose playboy past includes more than its fair share of infidelity, alcohol abuse and questionable business behavior.”

And:

“For all his outward bonhomie, energy and apparently boundless human compassion, insiders say Newsom is insular and prickly, his undoubted charisma only skin-deep.”

Yeah, They are talking about Gavin Newsome. the suggested replacement for the addle-pated current Democratic hopeful for President.

Apparently he is even WORSE that the terrible things the DNC types are saying about Trump.

 

Hurricane Beryl:

Innit interesting that EVERY SINGLE meteorologist is saying the exact same thing:

 

“Hurricane Beryl is a category 4 hurricane…very strong BECAUSE IT IS FUELED BY THE WARM WATER caused by Man Made Climate Change.”

Every. Single. Time.

Of course, the water temperature is not record setting, nor is the strength (high cat 4) of the hurricane a record, nor the “early” arrival.  None of it is a record nor precedent setting.

Makes you wonder who is writing their scripts…..

 

Lying liars

So the CBS morning show is now doing a piece on election integrity and issues with the fact that there has been high turnover of election officials that might (maybe, possibly) result in “errors” in ballot counting and ballot integrity.

 

This just cannot be: We were told last election cycle that there was no issues, in any way as regards the elections. That the systems were in place to ensure that ballot integrity was perfect, that the counts were perfect, and that there was not, and never had been, any issues. That we, as the voters, could count on the votes as sacrosanct and 100% perfect.

Until of course, it looks like the Dems might be losing, then things changed, funny that.

Fail:

So a bunch of friends and myself were gonna go into Chicago and see some of the museums yesterday. The plan was to meet up at one of the train stations and take the train into the city. $7 each way and no parking hassles and all that. (If Miegs Field (KCGX) was available we’d have used that, but that airport no longer exists, destroyed in the name of egalitarianism so that the city can have parkland that no one but drug dealers and trolling gay men uses). Plus we weren’t sure how much the nearby construction for the upcoming NASCAR race was gonna affect the traffic in the area. The train station is like 3 blocks from the museums.

Plus being a responsible green citizen and all that. After all, the train is electric. They just spent millions to upgrade the tracks to prevent delays and make it a better, faster experience.

But it wasn’t.

The train was well over an hour late, we finally found out via the news that there was a major delay due to an electric outage and they were replacing the electric locomotives with diesels until it was fixed. No plan for how long the delay might be.

Fuckit.

As we were leaving the train platform, the train management finally got around to announcing the delay over the PA system.

Instead we carpooled and drove. Traffic wasn’t bad, parking was a hassle (and expensive!) but we got there. Likely we’d have still been waiting had we taken he train.

But it put us an hour or more behind.

Laving Chicago during Rush Hour was a fun (not) experience. Part of the reason we had planned to take the train was to avid that traffic chaos and delays.

Are we likely to try the train again? I dunno. Probably not. Cars are much more reliable and parking isn’t that big of a deal

Public transportation puts you at the mercy of the (diverse) people running things.

We might try again simply because we all have tickets that are good until September. Might as well use ’em. Not sure if the risk is worth the $7.

’tis interesting

And telling.

 

One of the guys that hangs around the airport works for an FBO….and his side job is managing at a Fireworks Outlet.

He was telling us that their market research tells them that the average customer spends nearly 820 dollars for the Independence Day holiday….And their average customer is on welfare or other government assistance, has 4 children, and gets some form of housing subsidy. They nearly all live below the poverty line.

Yet, oddly, they have enough money for fireworks.

He also said that the year they gave out Covid subsidy checks was the best year ever for the business.

I’m not really surprised, as poverty is a culture. Other than a tattoo, there is no better way to waste your money than fireworks.  It might even be the first best way to waste your money.
