So that dude who wanted to get a few birthday cards for his 100th birthday?

I and many others “boosted the signal” and asked our readers to send him some cards.

Apparently, many folks did so.

He received over 55 THOUSAND cards and letters.….and counting.

Thank you to all who sent letters and cards and who passed the message on. Sometimes the internet can be a wonderful thing.

1944

Think of all those boys and men that, 74 years ago, were either waiting in a Higgins boat to be shot at on a beach, or were already being shot at, having glidered or parachuted in.

Think of their bravery, their fear (for one cannot have bravery without fear) and their resolve.

Europe, in general, will never be able to repay the US for the sacrifice of it’s young men that day, and in the days following.

Seems that CBS did a poll on gun ownership by state.

(and that, of course, assumes that everyone told the truth though)

Where is your state?

Do ya think the ranking is valid, or did folks polled not give good info?

and I find such tactics childish and cowardly….

I also find it funny. I only wish the little fame seeking narcissist was home at the time…..

Seems that someone SWATTED DAVID HOGG.

One might have thought that the cops would have known his address.

But whoever did this should go to jail. And they are NOT on my team..

New hard drive. Seems that the data was totally scrozzled. So, even though Geek Squad thought that it was the update (apprently , others have had this same issue) they chose tor start fresh with a new drive as well.

So, new Windows, New drive, same chassis.

And I am back. 

So I FINALLY got the big Windows update to run, and actually finish. Took 4 calls to Windows to resolve it.

and it worked for 2 dys……Then I rebooted the machine.

Big Big mistake. That update? Yeah, it really fixed my machine…..

Now I have all sorts of configuration errors and other things preventing the machine from booting.

I am gonna have to go to an expert for this, or at least someone who knows more than I do.

I can’t blog from a tablet, so there may be little new posting for a day or 2.

Thanks Windows. Thnaks a LOT.

Think “Deep State”:

“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” – Thomas Jefferson

We will talk about “Where Scotland used to be“.

Much like Califronia, the people voted into power seem to be trying to destroy the place. 

To not break laws when you can’t afford to pay the fines.

In a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday, attorneys for the two say North Carolina’s practice of revoking drivers’ licenses of people who can’t pay their traffic fines and court costs is unconstitutional because it violates the rights to due process and equal protection under the 14th amendment.

What do you want to bet that these 2 people have had a drink 4 or 5 times a week, Or ought a coffee from a coffeehouse….or eaten out since they got those fines? Unless they are already eating rice and beans, I’d bet they could have come up with the money, had they chosen to do so by making that a priority instead of spending money on other things….

Most people make different choices. Some never learn. Which category do you think these folks are?

So the Border Patrol wants to fill in the tunnels they find that go under the border from Mexico to the US…used to smuggle people and drugs into America…..

Makes sense, right? If the tunnel is filled in, then no one has to sit at the exit and watch to make sure it isn’t still being used….

But the EPA  requires a permit for “Remediation” to fill in the tunnels with gravel and cement. It sometimes takes months for a permit. 

Yet, oddly no one got a permit to dig the things in the first place. And no one got fined for doing it, either. Seems the EPA has it’s priorities all screwed up, doesn’t it? Perhaps they could use their SWAT team to guard it instead of CBP officers.
