over 80,000 lbs of butter.

The reason:

Not health, not a contamination, not a bacteria.

But because it does not list “Milk” as a possible allergen.

According to the FDA, the butter was recalled for not having the “Contains Milk” statement. Some social media users were quick to question the recall with one saying “We all know butter contains milk.”

Hint: If you are allergic eto dairy, and are unaware that butter may contain milk or other milk byproducts, perhaps you should not be let out without a keeper. And only on a short leash.

I mean, listening to Rep Hakeem Jefferies on CBS:

“We need to fix immigration and border security”

“We need to get a handle on inflation”

“We need to bring costs down. ”

“We will work hard to make sure that these things happen no matter what the Trump administration does.”

“We need to make sure we grow the Middle Class ”

“We need to fix the crumbling infrastructure”

“We need to bring jobs back from overseas”

Just what the hell has he and the other Democrats been doing since 2020? Where have they been?

Why NOW, and not then? What changed?? Is it only because that is what Trump promised and they think that that is what will get them elected next cycle?

Reports are that Trump has picked Kristi Noem for DHS, and Marco Rubio for Sec State.

While Noem handled the Covid crisis in her state reasonably well, that is about her only decent accomplishment. She MIGHT make a decent administrator for DHS….But will probably just “go with the flow” of the current bureaucracy that exists and won’t shake it up or change the heading of the agency.

But Rubio? Seriously?  That will backfire on Donnie fairly quickly.

So, yet again, the police resort to violence for no good reason….except that they can.

Far too many of our police officers are way too violent, too quick to anger and have issues with people who refuse to obey them slavishly. Many appear to have anger issues, likely caused by Steroids or other compounds like that….

Too many are poorly trained, and are given authority way beyond what they should have.

In the case above, one could easily make a case for attempted murder. .All because a man refused to sign a citation…which isn’t required.  Watch the video in the article…Assault, with intent to inflict bodily harm at a minimum. If that were you or me, the charges would already be filed, we’d have been arrested and jailed….This cop  should do time for this.

Way too many larger cities, and even small towns are hiring people psychologically unsuited to be police officers. They have the wrong mentality, the wrong idea of how police are supposed to be….and their training reinforces that. Their CULTURE reinforces that. Too many are bullies, not even suitable to be bouncers in a bar, much less keep order on our streets.  These incidents happen all the time. And generally it is larger cops against smaller men, or women, or teenagers.

The problem is that too many good cops (and yes, there are good cops) let the bad ones slide, refuse to cull their own ranks, because “Blue Wall”…..and the departments refuse to reign them in until things like this happen. Every cop, every supervisor knows which cop on their shift is a problem, but they don’t do anything until it is too late…if at all. They just back each other up.

Today is Armistice day in Europe, where they remember all those who gave their lives in WW1 on the day of the signing of the armistice. in 1918

And Veterans Day here in the US…which is more important to me.

Thank you, each and every US veteran, still serving or not, wartime, or peacetime.

I appreciate your service.

2024 election results by county

Really really strange, that.

I am sure the wildlife folks in New York State are just wishing that this whole thing would go away.

But it won’t, at least not until the people responsible, INCLUDING THE JUDGE that signed the warrant, are fired, and make some form of restitution.(although flogging is a good thought as well). Perhaps they should give Mr. Longo, the owner of the animals a chance to punch them in the face once each. Won’t bring Peanut and Fred back, but it would go a long way to making things right….

The overreach, the massive overkill in manpower for the raid, the subsequent list of fuckups is am example of State Gone Mad. Of Officials using their power to harm, rather than for good. The stated aim was for the welfare of the animals, the real reason was because someone had defied the states mandates. At the end of it, are Peanut and Fred better off than they were before the raid? Was their welfare really the reason? This isn’t the first time this sort of “welfare raid ” has happened...but unless and until the people involved are severely punished, it won’t stop happening……Be it wildlife officials or police officers in general.

Now we know some of the names of the people involved in the debacle, although not all of them. 

Joshua Crain obtained a search warrant for the animals

Judge Richard W. Rich Jr. authorized the search

“Crain, who was awarded Wildlife Officer of the Year in 2022, is known for his philosophy of prioritizing education over enforcement.”  Yep, pull the other one. It’s got bells.

We don’t know the names of the other officers involved, but they should be outed as well. Each and every one of them, named so their communities can choose to treat them as they should be.

The fact that these people are still employed in any position of power, where they can make any decisions that in any way affect any other people, is a crime…and it shows that , to the state, the bureaucracy matters more that the right thing.

Remember: The squirrel and the raccoon had been kept indoors, with no contact with other animals, for many weeks, even years in the case of Peanut….there was no reason to believe that they had rabies, in fact there was every reason to believe they DID NOT have rabies or any other diseases. Crain should have known this….normal protocol in this case should have been 10 days of quarantine and observation to confirm they did not have rabies, rather than slicing up their brains for a rabies test..

And, of course, the State (and the officer’s union) wants to remind us of this: “‘We ask that the public keep in mind that [DEC officers] are their friends, family, and neighbors and do not deserve to live in fear for upholding the law,”

Yeah, but like the rest of Law Enforcement……unless and until they and their fellow officers start cleaning house, start asking why they need such overwhelming force on a raid (or a Raid at all !), why they always treat people like they do when there is a better, less demeaning, less violent, way.. then maybe I will believe it.

You want respect, and to live in peace in the community you police, you should act like it,

To all the Marines out there, still serving or not.

249 years.

Started in a Tavern.

Crayons and punch will be served later today.

Thank you all.

The normal person learns more from failure than success. But the already perfect person lacks the capacity to learn anything from defeat other than to conclude that “someone else failed them”. 

Sure, Yeah, I believe that.

Is the person who gave the orders fired? If not, the the management is simply covering their asses.

FEMA management: Avoid homes with Trump signs. 

So far, tjhey’ve weaponized the IRS, the Department of Justice, and now FEMA.

And the Left leaning folks that run these departments do not seem to get the idea that it is wrong.

And the Republicans hold “Hearings” but no one ever goes to jail, gets fired, loses their pension, or even gets a slap on the wrist.

They act this way against Conservatives with impunity.

It takes a foreign press to bring this to light….the Us based Media is failing in their job, they just push the Left agenda rather than report news.
