So due to tornado damage, the Joliet refinery is out of service for another month or so…leading to spot shortages and a tight gasoline supply…the greater Chicago area has to use a “boutique Blend” of gasoline because the EPA says we don’t meet certain air quality standards….

And this has led to a greatly increased cost for gasoline, as the market reacts to the tighter supply…

Which leads to somewhat disgruntled people, as we are paying nearly a dollar more than people a hundred or more miles away…And people are blaming the current government for the price of gasoline. Which might affect how they vote….

Of course this being an election year, the EPA has granted waivers for the other refineries to blend “normal” gasoline for sale in the area…instead of the special blend. 

Funny innit, how the environment matters….. until people voting Democrat matters more.

Weird

Cell phone data shows person who visited Crooks house also visited FBI office…..

Now, this is unverified and may well be misinformation

Remember, if it fits you confirmation bias it should be suspect…

I mean, how much of the “Enthusiasm” for her running for President is real? How much is slanted reporting (or outright lies) ,….. how much is bad polling (or outright lies) ?

Let’s face it, if you are not happy with the candidate, but are told that everyone else is gonna vote for her, might that not make a difference? ….especially if you are a sheep Liberal who just wants to be a part of the crowd?

I mean, for me, I really don’t care what the rest of y’all think, I’m gonna vote for the candidate I think is best (or at least the Least-Bad candidate, anyway) and really don’t care what you are gonna do. I bet that most of my readers are gonna do the same. But we aren’t Liberals, and we don’t follow the crowds like they do.

I’m not seeing the types of crowds for Kamala, despite the attempt by the Media to make it seem so, that I see for Trump’s rallies. Notice the shots for Kamal’s rallies are tight, only showing a few tens of people, never wide, showing the tens of thousands like Trump’s crowds.

So, seriously, how much of this “enthusiasm” is real?

For that matter, how many of the “First Time Donors” would be surprised to discover a donation in their name? I mean, there were lots of irregularities in the DNC donations last time around….lots of (likely) Soros backed “individual” first-time donors and LOTS of newly-minted PAC donations that then disappeared right after the election….

So there I am, working at the range. building… I get there about 9 AM, , and a while alter that some others show up to shoot at the outdoor range. They asked if I needed help, I said “nope ” so they went and shot at the outdoor range. They shot and I continued to examine the roof for any reason that we have this irritating intermittent leak when it rains (sometimes)….

About an hour later, they were done. I chose to take a break then, and got a bottle of water from the fridge and went to say “hi” while they packed up.

“Man, B, you are one Bad-Ass-Mofo. I think we should call you “sir”

Me, being all witty and such, came back with “Huh?”

“Nah, man, you a badass. A real bad dude. Anyone cross you they gonna know it….”

“Dude, let me touch your sleeve so some of that badness rubs off on me….”

You, sir, are one brave dude, I gotta say,…”

I got comments from all of them like that. I wondered what was up…

“Ahem, well, errr…Yes, Yes ….of course….. WTF are talking about though,…. I mean which part of my badassery are you referring to in particular?” Says I.

“Dude, you been on that SLOPED ROOF for over an hour, with no help, no safety line, nothin’. You should get a job with the Secret Service teachin’ ’em and all… Spread some of that badassery around so they can learn and shit…..”

We all laughed and they went home and I gave up finding the leak in a 40+ year old tin roof. I think we are just gonna fix it the same way we have for years, by slathering the whole roof with another layer of fibered roof coating…It’ll solve the issue for another 2 or three years.  I just can’t find it…the reason for the leak. No holes, no loose screws,  and I’ve looked three times, in different light….I know the area it has to be in but myself and others simply cannot locate it. Hard to fix it since we can’t find it.

Hey, I got some more practice on a sloped roof and being a badass and all….

So shooting the hostage (and killing him) is bad enough.

When it is a 4 year old boy being used as a human shield, that makes it worse.

But hey, for a cop, that’s good shooting. I mean, it only took one shot to end the issue….. instead of a mag dump, and at least the other cops didn’t unload their magazines also…

Poor kid,

I mean, she isn’t Black, she’s Indian and Jamaican. Descended from slaveowners.

But she gets upset (and the Media as well) when that fact is pointed out. That, somehow, is “Racist”  It is offensive, and let us forget that she is pretending to be of African ancestry.

Funny how that is.

The “Acting” Head of the Secret Service STILL hasn’t told us who the agent was in the field who was running the security at Trump’s rally where he got shot.

No one has been named, and as far as I can tell, no one has been disciplined, suspended, fired or otherwise sanctioned for the failure in leadership (do you really think it was incompetence though?) that led to the security holes that allowed our friendly shooter to do his thing?

Again, WHY HASN’T THE SENATE ASKED WHO WAS THE AGENT IN CHARGE and subpoenaed their testimony? Unless, and until, they question that individual, this is just a circus sideshow, not one meant to find the truth, or to assign blame…but rather to make a splash but hide the real truth.

I really don’t believe that the Secret Service is that riddled with incompetents that such a thing could happen without malice aforethought. More than one person had to be in on the plan.

“election results could not be recognized due to a lack of transparency and evidence.: says the election watchers:

Nope, I am not talking about the election from 2020, but rather the current election in Venezuela.

Those folks are rioting in the streets, refusing to accept the official election count because it flies in the face of reality, and because they know there was fraud

I guess the Venezuelans are stronger than the US citizens. Will their actions make any difference? I dunno.

But while the majority of us let the elections be stolen in 2020, the Venezuelan people are fighting to keep their election sane.

(Sad, innit, how CNN recognizes and cares to report election irregularities in another country, but not in the US,,,,)

So the folks who (supposedly, according to the Media) are gonna support K. Harris for President  are apparently just voting for her because the Party Bosses have told them to…..They all cannot be stupid enough to overlook her failure to speak well enough to put two words together correctly, nor can they miss he complete lack of accomplishments over her career….Her inability to articulate a single coherent thought nor her ability to inspire those she is supposed to be leading…..While some black people may vote for he due to the melanin content of her skim, most are smart enough to know that she las little, if any African ancestry in her bloodline..

Yet they (apparently, we are told,) will vote for her in droves.

Contrast this with Trump, who the establishment would rather NOT win the presidency, even to the point of helping the Democrats gain an advantage…But his supporter will vote for him because of what he is, who he is, and what he stands for. They WANT a leader, they WANT a man who will put the country and the citizens first, who isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with the other world leaders…..The Trump Voter doesn’t give two shits what the Party thinks, nor do they care what the leaders want….The voters want a leader.

One set of voters are sheep. The other are thinkers, (most of ’em, anyway). One set is willing to vote for a weak, simpering, candidate who has no leadership qualities, who was selected as a vice presidency to garner votes….Who, it appears, slept her way to the top.,,,,…and they are willing to bring a marginal (at best) candidate to the leadership role simply because some of them hate Trump, and the others will vote for anyone with the imprimatur  of the Democratic Party, both sets willing to weaken the country because their Party says so.

The other set oj voters told the Party to go fuck themselves and voted for Trump, and will do so again this fall.

It says something about modern Democrats.

If the DNC types think that Term Limits are  a good ide a then why do they keep fighting  to keep that from happening in the Senate and Congress?

I mean, one has to work hard and keep your nose clean for a long time to be a Federal Judge, but anyone ca be a Senator or Congresscritter.

If Term Limits are a good idea, then let us start with our representatives in Washington. .
