An ugly picture for an ugly week. It looks like Democrats and their forest fire killed 388 people in Maui. The sirens didn’t go off. Water was withheld for five hours. The state used this to clear the land so rich people can build mansions. A hurricane ripped through Florida and neighboring states. Residents got plenty of notice and evacuated their homes after DeSantis promised, “You loot, we shoot.”
"I must go downtown the seas again to the lonely sea and sky and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."-"Sea fever".
They are gonna find out wing sails leave a lot to be desired as far as efficient operation. Cousteau had discovered that with Alcyone. There's a reason for spinnakers, jibs, Bermuda rigs.
"ITEM 2... 'WVU Could be Discontinuing their Degree Path in . . . Puppetry.' They are getting rid of the one liberal arts course that could lead to actual employment."
Only if you work for CNN.
Oh, and this... whenever you see the word "path" in the above context, rest assured, you are reading something or listening to someone whose brain ceased working at least a decade ago.
[Go WVU today, Beat Penn State!]
"Item 3... I grew up near Little Budapest in Cleveland."
Yesterday, Don received his birthday presents (alas, the Bentley not).
Today, I received one from Don, the knowledge about:
Mike Powell's memoir "A Life In Film" (1986) includes the story of Emeric Pressburger, a Hungarian who had fled from Hitler's wrath and who ended up as the screen writer in the Powell-Pressburger film company.
Powell's stories about how Pressburger changed his (Powell's) entire menu around after he had been introduced to imported Hungarian food, I recall very well (great book, highly recommended. Clear, concise writing; sense of humor, an insider's candid story about Britain during WWII. Avoid the wooden sequel, "The Million Dollar Movie," published posthumously by well-meaning LACA film illiterates).
"ITEM 6..., “Rachel Maddow Worries..."
She's in for the shock of her well-worn life on November 5, 2024.
50-50% chance of another nervous breakdown.
I'd cite the number, but no one knows it; we lost count about 15 years ago.
Funny how these female impersonators never improve with age.
Usually, it's almost an automatic deal: As your physical bod goes, you acquire wisdom, even serenity.
She should check the warranty on that one, might get a refund...
"ITEM 8... '“Maine Hospital Fired Nurses for Refusing COVID Shots — Now It’s Begging Them to Come Back.'
As someone who in the morning wistfully watches the scene of my well-spent summer youth in Ogunquit Maine ...
It pains me to see what should have been the least-woke state in the country committing suicide.
That is not a figurative statement: they've forced THEIR OWN CITIZENS to commit suicide.
"ITEM 13... “The Disney+ streaming service is cutting three series...' "
"That is a weird way to cut costs — by not releasing shows you already have made."
They have been forced to cut costs by not distributing money-losers.
Which reminds me of that sad day in the 1990s when Calumet Farm, bankrupt, had its auction sale. The farm didn't even have enough money to van their horses to the auctioneers, and, instead, had to walk them through the meadows and back roads to their inglorious destination.
I'd love to see Disney underlings all yoked up pulling covered wagons full of this cancelled refuse out to wherever it is that Los Angeles runs its garbage dumps, if only to see the dump employees refuse to accept it --- in which case, the Disney-Danner party will then have to slog on out to...
(Also recommended: Wild Ride, The Rise & Tragic Fall of Calumet Farm, Inc., Ann Hagedorn Auerbach; Henry Holt & Co. 1994. Avoid, at all costs, her later work, the shrill and hysterical "1919.")
"ITEM 18... “A super PAC set up to back Ron DeSantis with $50 million is closing..."
Seriously, does Ron DeSantis have any idea of the damage that he has done to himself? He started out as the white knight against Iger-Disney, rightly became a hero --- and now his ineptitude has transformed him into a Disney protectorate!
And that's it for today. If you own roller skates, use them.
10 - about six years ago, we (first responders) were able to get Narcan from the state. We needed a doctor to sponsor us and had to keep inventory of our 24 doses. If we had to use the Narcan, we had to notify the agency that provided it. Replacements got easier to get over time(short shelf life). Thankfully, we’ve never needed to use it. Had OD calls, but by the time we arrive, it was too late.
It is sickening to see how it is now freely dispensed encouraging more drug usage.
A goal of the WEF is population control. It can be accomplished in many different ways. Just look around. Most everything going on today gets us on that path.
I'm glad they're televising Trump's trial. The left did the same thing in Israel to Netanyahu, thinking they'd get more help from the public in their efforts to convict him . But the public saw right through the scam to see that it was all smoke and mirrors and he was innocent and the accusers were the criminals. And here, we can see not only how corrupt Trump's accusers are, but also how stupid, to boot!
The new mayor is a card holding member of the teachers union. The union sent their people out on election day to make sure "the citizens" voted correctly. They figured it it worked for Biden, it will work for us.
Item 13: As you make the point, Disney+ isn't cost cutting when they fully invest in the production but don't release it to the public.
This is reassuring evidence to me that they have been beaten. They are afraid to release it for fear of losing more business, but they can't stop investing in DEI so they don't offend the leftists. Same for Bud Light. They are stuck in a hole of their own digging. Bud Light can't apologize to their target market loyalist customers about the Mulvaney insult for fear of raising all hell from the Transgender community. They are flash frozen like Mitch McConnell.
Disney+ is the second example of "Winning". They both have locked themselves in DEI prison of their own creation.
Holy heck. Without reading any part of the update, so shocked, why would someone send that picture out. It's like sending out a close up picture of the stump right after your leg was amputated.
#23 - Will all of the illegals going to the Atlantic City International Airport be checked by TSA? Or are they exempt from security checks like they are exempt from covid tests, masks and “vaccine” mandates at the border?
A seventeen-year-old with experience would never get married. He's be hip to the game and hang onto his money. Civilization depends on young men without experience taking risks. That's where children come from.
I was enraged before I even got to ITEM 1 - The murder of Maui's children for the sake of elitists like O & O (Obama and Oprah) will go unpunished (in this life...) and, sadly, unknown by the same sheeple who still trust the gub'ment-media complex's narrative on COVID...
Then I got to ITEM 1 - which reminded me that the ATF raided a legally lisenced gun dealer in OK (in front of his 13 y/o son), taking many of his personal guns and charging him with (Paul Harvey pause) something.
Even my coffee can't get my blood pressure up like your reporting, Don!
And I've decided that from now on, the "F" word is "Federal".
ITEM 34: This gets worse. The money is tied to $24 billion for Ukraine, so if you don't vote for it because you disagree with sending even more money to Ukraine, you'll be accused of not caring about the disaster victims. It's a clever but vile move to get money for the people who paid Joe Biden off.
ITEM 30:
"Stop giggling. They really believe they invented sailing.
They also believe the world is boiling. It takes a brave man to sail an ocean of boiling water."
#13 - while i don't know that the parallel would hold, in Y2K i was on three episodes of Jeopardy. part of the deal was that i would only be paid after the shows aired and if some intervening event prevented the shows from airing, i would not be paid. timeline: taping in March, airing in June, payment in November.
. . . came from ahead to lose in final Jeopardy on ep #3. Had the right answer, second-guessed myself, crossed it out and botched it. my late wife never let me live that down.
What a screw job that would be! I have a 9/11 story along the same lines...
Saratoga late August - early September (22 years ago)...
Aaron Brown, then CNN's Big Cheese / Resident Intellectual (well, I'm trying to be kind, but my sense of honesty tells me to add, "arrogant know-it-all") and I met and struck up a conversation.
I had picked a winner at the previous day. When he asked how I had done it, I told him. He took offense; apparently one should only pick winners according to HIS methods. Sour moment. Thank you, Aaron. Very nice meeting you.
And we all went home.
09/11/01 Kaboom! Aaron was thrown off the air as CNN and the rest of the regime media went into 24/7 hysteria. And he was never seen again, either on CNN or anywhere else. Imagine his chagrin / the insult to his ego when he saw the former NY State Gov. /disgraced Eliot Spitzer get his own show!
I recall reading something where one of his ex-co-workers said something to the effect that, "Well, 09/11 was terrible, but it did give us the perfect excuse to throw Aaron out of the building."
30: all the ships in the trans-Atlantic slave trade were powered by clean green renewable biodegradable sustainable wind power.
Excellent point.
Shhhhhhh Its a secret.... Like the fact the slaves were rounded up by Africans - not white people - and taken to the beach to be sold....
Hey, be careful, the truth makes Marists outraged.
"I must go downtown the seas again to the lonely sea and sky and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."-"Sea fever".
They are gonna find out wing sails leave a lot to be desired as far as efficient operation. Cousteau had discovered that with Alcyone. There's a reason for spinnakers, jibs, Bermuda rigs.
They knew what they were doing.
I am not sure that the 'greenies' today are smart enough to run a sailing ship. That took special knowledge and a lot of work.
Item 2 “WVU Could be Discontinuing their Degree Path in . . . Puppetry.” How will Obama ever again fill a vacancy in Biden’s cabinet?
Best comment of the year!
Thanks, you’re too generous. Don’s post made it easy.

Yet another invitation from our WEF government to keep up self-destructive behaviors. It is a powerful form of control.
A goal of the WEF is population control. It can be accomplished in many different ways. Just look around. Most everything going on today gets us on that path.
I read a comment recently: WEF backwards is FEW - and that is their goal.
Liberals make genocide easy and more sellable to the ignorant.
Happy birthday! Hope you get a lot of neat toys!

17 - who would have thought. Chicago’s new mayor is dumber and worser than his predecessor, Mayor Beetlejuice.
Chicago voters said, "Hold my beer..."
"...my Bud Light..."
They seem to be evolving backward but they are doing it in record time.
The new mayor is a card holding member of the teachers union. The union sent their people out on election day to make sure "the citizens" voted correctly. They figured it it worked for Biden, it will work for us.

In a Colorado school parent-teacher conference, a new meme was born.
#28 CBS reported, “Trump trial in Fulton County will be televised and live streamed, Georgia judge says.”
Who is going to insert the laugh track after each statement and question by government lawyers and the government judge?
That meme is probably already in someone's head to produce when the footage becomes available
Kathy Griffin.
28: They will give Trump free TV exposure. Even better than the non-stop news coverage he got in 2016.
Holy heck. Without reading any part of the update, so shocked, why would someone send that picture out. It's like sending out a close up picture of the stump right after your leg was amputated.
Makeup and a wig do amazing things, don't they? It is a reminder that this woman is all fake.
...especially her brain.
I'm sure there are conservative competitors for disfigurement, male and female.
Disfiguring for attention requires mental health intervention. No different than genital mutilation for attention. A sickness.
Well said!
What brain?
Good point...
too much botox does go to your brain....looks like she got a Goldy Hawn dose there...
Worst Blind Date of the Century!
Had many a few I wasn't proud of. Waking up next to that, I'd have chewed my arm off at the shoulder joint.
lololol

Totally worth the price of admission.
They believe the world is boiling. Which is why they pack cases of tea bags.
It takes a brave man to sail an ocean of boiling water. In a metal boat, I might add.
It would be awesome if the ship was an oil tanker.
…or better yet, carrying EV’s complete with their lithium batteries!
Yes, that would be the biggest Dutch oven ever created!
The Chinese don’t believe in woke so they’re not worried about it.

. . . came from ahead to lose in final Jeopardy on ep #3. Had the right answer, second-guessed myself, crossed it out and botched it. my late wife never let me live that down.
Paid the prize money? How many of their previous contestants ended up DWI that they had to institute such a staggered schedule of payment?!
i think it was more like if the shows weren't aired due to, say 9/11. always have wondered what happened to the contestants who were to air that day.
What a screw job that would be! I have a 9/11 story along the same lines...
