I mean, what with the war already going on in Ukraine and all that shit…. Since Ukraine needs 100 Billion dollars from the US (less 10% for the Big Guy, of course) to be able to continue to defend against the Russians….

It ain’t like Sudan is a weekend trip away either.

Video shows ‘Ukrainian special forces’ “cleaning up” Wagner mercenaries operating in Sudan with RPG ambush in the city streets’

You’d think that what with Ukraine being out of money and having to fight the Russians on their own turf  they’d not have time for revenge in Africa.

Maybe they aren’t as out of money as they claim?

I’ll donate to the Tuba Player’s bail fund….

Football fan gets into opposing team band Tuba player’s face…

It does not go well fir the fan.. 4 punches WHILE STILL PLAYING the tuba, Fan goes down, hard. 

Fan learns a lesson. Maybe.

If people had ever learned decent behavior, things like this wouldn’t happen. But a fair number of people never got their asses beaten for bad behavior as kids or teens, so they encounter people who simply won’t put up with them and their bad behavior as adults. And that lesson is often painful.

They are getting their asses kicked. It’s a story we have seen play out before many times. They’ll just use the pause to rearm/reposition and then try to fight again until their position becomes untenable, then they will (again) ask the UN to to broker a ceasefire.

Is every Palestinian (ethnic Syrian) as full of bluster and invective until push comes to shove, then they want someone to step in and protect them?

So far I haven’t seen evidence otherwise.

So the Bidens are trying to discredit Tony Bobulinsky....and they are rewriting the narrative, claiming Bobulinsky wasn’t at the meetings that even Hunter said he was…(then, at least), and are claiming that it was Bobulinsky who claimed the “10% for “the Big Guy” was Hunter’s dad, then Vice President Biden…..Even though the laptop says otherwise. 

Of course, if the Press agrees to push the New Narrative….and enough people believe the headlines without bothering to look for the truth (and assuming Goggle doesn’t try to hide the truth) then it might just fly….

But enough of us know and remember. Whether we can make the DOJ actually do their job remains to be seen (so far they ahven’t and we haven’t been able to make them). In a just world, Biden would be under investigation (at a minimum) already……

Looking out for Number One and all that…..

So I found out (by mentioning her) that the chickie in the hangar the other day is hanging around the airport checking out ALL the planes…and their owners. I am not all that and a bag of chips (I ain’t hung, ain’t handsome and ain’t rich), but I do own an airplane, so that got me noticed…..

She apparently is looking for a wealthy man to be her next (apparently third) husband, and has chosen pilots (or airplane owners) as her prey and airports as her hunting ground….I ain’t the only one she’s approached and she is, while somewhat mercenary, apparently a pretty nice gal, according to others.

I guess “a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do” and all that.

“That’s where the money is” (Willie Sutton when asked why he robbed banks).

Go nowhere.

One would think that all the soccer moms and the crazy divorced Cat ladies and the Leftist College students would all create an outcry about the devastation of the habitat of these “indigenous peoples” that are losing to the loggers in Indonesia.

This is the moment tribespeople threaten workers on their territory in an Indonesian rainforest before running away when a bulldozer driver revs at them. The video, the contents of which have been described as evidence of a ‘human rights catastrophe unfolding’, shows two men from the Hongana Manyawa, a tribe in Halmahera, who live far from outsiders.

Make no mistake, I too think it is a tragedy….and if there was a way to donate to purchase the land that they are living on to ensure that they have a reservation in which to live peacefully, I’d donate (assuming it wasn’t a scam or that the organizer wouldn’t rake-off 97% A-La the Clintons and their “Foundation”).

But there will maybe be a bunch of tik-tok and Twitter X posts and then these poor folks will be overrun as people forget to care in a day or a week.

From a comment at Ken’s place:

“The GOP is just the worthless spineless controlled opposition of the Dems. Tell me: What have they done about election integrity? What have they done about getting us out of foreign wars? What have they done about rolling back gun control or the welfare state? What have they actually done about the weaponization of the FBI and the CIA and the IRS? What have they done about the criminal grifter in the white house? I’ll wait right here.”

Pretty much spot-on. They haven’t done more than promise and then fail to even TRY to deliver. They haven’t accomplished anything, even when they held the reigns of power.

i-ss

i-pp-i…

River, that is.

If we use the methods of the Climate Change/Glowbal Warming crowd then the fact that we had SNOW on Halloween is evidence of Global Cooling and we are about to enter an ice age.

Just sayin’. If “Hot in Summer” is evidence of Glowbal Warming, then surely SNOW on Halloween is evidence of a massive cooling event, right?

I mean, first snow of the season.

Crashes everywhere. Automobile carnage in spots.

Who would have thought the roads would be slick?

Christ-on-a-Pogo-stick, the utter foolishness and stupidity of my fellow citizens sometimes even surprises me.
