I like to read. Always have. I’d rather read than listen to some oratory with opinionated inflections. Reading this week’s review left me comfortable about the current state of things… until I got to the “ anonymous signers.” At that point the airbags in my brain went off and it took a few minutes to reboot. These folks all need to be terminated since they obviously never graduated grade school.
I read in PJ media this morning "Last month, in a similar display of disloyalty, dozens of NIH government employees took it upon themselves to stage a walkout during a town hall conducted by Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya when he dared to broach the vindicated and near-certain theory that COVID-19 was birthed in a lab funded by Anthony Fauci’s NIH. here is the link to the entire article.
07/05/25: Speaking of the love of reading, see "Just Around The Corner," below!
Item 11: ... "Hakeem’s [Jeffries] baseball career now is in the hands of the Supreme Court."
Compromise! Let him play for a college girl's softball team. That will get him out of the House, where he doesn't belong. Then, when he "graduates," we erase his name from the team, which he himself will greatly appreciate, seeing as how he had hit one single in 59 at-bats and committed 36 errors in the field.
(A number that would have been way higher, had he not gotten lost driving to three of the team's "away" games.)
ITEM 15: ... “Paramount ... agrees to a $16 million settlement in President Trump’s lawsuit over the edited 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris.”
Five, four, three, two, one, CNN Breaking News!: "Leslie Stahl accuses Paramount owner Sheri Redstone of getting a cash kickback under the table from Trump in exchange for settling the case, and has 'edited' videotape to prove it."
Item 23: "Simon Guobadia claims he spent over $5 million on his wedding to Porsha Williams."
Don Surber: "See? If Simon hadn't bought a Porcha and married a Bentley instead..."
On his way back to where he came from, Simon was gifted an Alligator Alcatraz t-shirt.
See? It's true! Ron DeSantis will literally give you the shirt off his back.
--- The Poll ("Elon Third Party"): Damn it. I had a good line when the Mets were on an umpteen-game losing streak: "Elon's going to primary the Mets." Then the ^%$*&#$@!!! team had to go and win three straight.
For a hilarious account of the "splinter political parties" of the 1930's --- is Elon is our Father Coughlin, or our Huey Long? --- order this forgotten masterpiece:
"Just Around The Corner," by Robert Bendiner [1909-2009]; Harper & Row (1967). Order the used hardcovers (the technicals --- type size, paper quality, ink density --- are perfect).
13: I once got stuck overnight at Dulles International Airport. Alligator Alcatraz looks luxurious in comparison (also Alligator Alcatraz looks luxurious compared to Alcatraz. )
I am reassured to consider that DJ T has finally buried the hatchet, and not in the back of DeSantis’ head. The governor is such a doer, surely we can find a way to use his many talents, even after he’s done in the Florida governors mansion.
Agreed. But think if DeSantis had to do all over again he would not let himself be manipulated into running against DJT. Big mistake he will have to live with for the rest of his life.
Nah. It's part of the game. I think Trump is wise enought to see they competed, DeSantis lost, and now he's playing on the team. It's what we all learned to do in sports. (well, in my day. It was a guy thing.)
07/05/25: It depends. If he borrowed money to run and will need another ten years to pay it off, yes, big mistake. Otherwise, it has been / will be mercifully forgotten. It's really amazing how people with otherwise sane and mature judgment, when competing with DJT, did crazy things (Marco Rubio's run in 2016 was a classic comedy film, shot in real life. To see him today, you'd never guess that had happened eight-nine years ago).
I was thinking the same thing and it can be said of many others like Rubio and Ted Cruz who Trump mocked when campaigning in 2016. Trump must have charmed them to make them strong supporters.
In any case, there is no European leader who imagines that FJB has anything to contribute, or who doesn't understand that FJB has zero stature as a statesman or as someone with geopolitical insights. Even if they once respected him bc of his political experience or his connections, they now realize that he now has mashed potatoes for brains, and any public association with him would damage their own credibility.
Minor nit: the Rescissions Act of 2025 is subject to the 1974 Impoundment Act and is exempted from Senate cloture rules. It only needs 51 votes to pass.
I would like to see more of them, up to and greater than what DOGE marked for elimination. Score that, CBO.
We have some well informed readers/commentors on this blog. I googled both acts (becoming better informed on the topic) and found that you are right Kemosabe. Thank you for the education.
#7. Hakeem talks Bentley, rides bus. Be very careful, Don. You almost hit the self-parody button. Very careful. #8. Then you saved yourself with the WKRP reference. #12. The NYT ceased being a serious paper long ago. It would have us believe UN nuke inspectors were actually allowed to see what Iran was really doing. Putting aside the corruption of the UN, those inspectors were as effective as visitors to China. They saw what the tyrants allowed them to see. #13. Three hots and a cot in a new air conditioned building, aka, previously unknown luxury to many of the illegals to be housed at Alligator Alcatraz. #19. Biden reduced our supplies of some critical weaponry to dangerous levels. There are also reports that Ukrainian officials have sold our weaponry to terrorists. - You want peace in Ukraine? The 1970's version of Democrats demonstrated how easy it is to destroy an army's ability to fight by cutting off its supply chain. #26. China's favorite ploy for avoiding US tariffs has been transshipping, e.g., sending products to the US through Mexico, i.e., making them "Mexican goods," in order to pay lower tariffs on "Mexican goods." Eliminating that tactic is a central part of Trump's tariff war. He is attacking China every which way from Sunday.
07/05/25: Poor Barry. Someday, maybe, he'll see how pompous he is and regret what he turned into. Darn. Carter never had a chance to build him a house in Hi-anus-port (Mass.). The regrets snowball.
Regarding the poll question “Obama’s Soon-to-be Ex”, that’s something else the media is willfully ignoring; “Michelle”(?) has been absolutely trashing Barack His Own Self on her podcasts @ every opportunity. She trashes him, the WH, their life there, & even her kids @ one point.
Bizarre. TTBOMK no former First Lady has ever done that. She is one very angry individual.
Don’t worry, libs, Alligator Alcatraz is just a temporary home, they get to return to their beautiful homes that they love so much that they still fly their flags and behave like their thugs. You take offense when we call them “shitholes”, what’s the problem?
There was a company that make a complete swap kit to install a GM engine in the XKE. We had a custom shop in our town that make some serious money doing these. Had several customers that had their cars shipped into this shop for the swap. What started it, there was a doctor that had a collection of Jag's and got tired with his cars spending so much time in the shop. After having a few of his cars done with this swap, word in the Jag world sent a lot of work out to this shop.
This shop also did performance work on GM engines and some of the swaps had high performance engines installed. I knew the owner for years as I went to school with his wife. I saw the manual that came with the swap kits, it was very detailed down to each nut and bolt.

There is still a lot of culling/firing to be done. Had to get beyond the district judges B.S.
07/05/25: Would a B-2 do the job?
Might take more than one. Best to send at least a dozen just to be sure.
07/06/25: I was surprised and shocked to read that there are only 19 B-2s. That # is way too low.
Read this! https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/07/04/randi-weingarten-peeking-peaking-n2415202
Stoopid is as stoopid does//ht F.Gump
07/05/25: Shouldn't that place be renamed, "Xwitchy," if Randi is allowed to use it?
Me too.
Me too.
Anonymous person[s\ is all the rage as seen on msm doncha know.
The correct term is spine-less coward.
Sharp as a tack bureaucrats signed letter ‘online Docusign as ‘anonymoius….’
terminated...as in "with extreme prejudice"? aksing for a friend.
Would improve the gene pool, no?
no doubt...and give an uptick to overall bi-ped iq.

I would say you're right. Look how he dumped on "Little Marco" and now Rubio is kicking butt in State.
Prime Trump being Trump !!

Hey they even have ladders to upper bunks. Didn’t have that in basic.
You bet. I had a top bunk. Both in basic and on the boat. no ladder sailor.
It's a frickin JAIL. It's not supposed to be luxurious. No chocolates on their pillows at night nor their towels twisted into pretty swans.
ITEM 33: Fox tweeted, “Biden claims he’s ‘getting calls’ from European leaders wanting him to ‘get engaged.’ ”
I'll take THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED for $500, Alex!
Maybe FJB is confused ; wasn't Hunter in South Africa ? Or he was lying as usual 🙄 .
Confused? There's no "maybe" with FJB.
In any case, there is no European leader who imagines that FJB has anything to contribute, or who doesn't understand that FJB has zero stature as a statesman or as someone with geopolitical insights. Even if they once respected him bc of his political experience or his connections, they now realize that he now has mashed potatoes for brains, and any public association with him would damage their own credibility.
07/05/25: You have overlooked the need for replacement Cigar Store Indians in Kiev barbershops hit by Russian drones.
So true !!!
LOL... probably came from an anonymous source!

Correct-June-House passes rescission package to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid, NPR, PBS.
That’s music to my ears
Item 16
Lia worked his balls off to win those races. How unfair!
Kinda like Bruce Jenner, but no blue check’….
SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Item 1. Jaguar’s new slogan: “Hold my Bud Light.”
Ford saw the writing on the wall when they unloaded Jag in 2007 .
07/05/25: Was it a premonition that, two years later, there would be a Barry mandate* to build Electric Jags?
(* "How DARE you suggest that this is a double entendre?!" [Obama = man date].)
Ford saved Jaguar by cleaning up its quality mess, then dumped it off just before it drove off the stupid cliff. 😎

That Arby’s tweet is very very cool.
Thanks for posting it.
Definitely creative and forward thinking ad agency . Take notes Jaguar !!
the advertisement’s outstanding, their sandwiches not so much.
Roy Rogers had true roast beef….not oil-sheen roasted beast…
GMTA .
Obama thinks he’s on his fourth term. What he needs is a life with no parole term.
07/05/25: This is already in effect (look at what he's married to).
Lmao. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Big Mike. Don’t run out of milkbones.
07/05/25: Poor Barry. Someday, maybe, he'll see how pompous he is and regret what he turned into. Darn. Carter never had a chance to build him a house in Hi-anus-port (Mass.). The regrets snowball.
He can get a free trip back to his home, flight to South Sudan, take the A1 across the Kenya border to the UN refugee camp in Kakuma
❤ Excellent wrap up! My money's on MTG.
Dead bet ; nobody will bet against you .
“When you clear the Senate 50-50, you have gotten as much milk as you can from the cow without killing it.”
Is that an original, Don? Because it is not only spot on it’s funny as hell!
“ITEM 25: Mike Engleman tweeted, “A federal judge approved a class-action lawsuit from 500 J6ers seeking $350 million in damages from Nancy Pelosi.”
Good Lord, I hope they win! That would truly be justice served!
Regarding the poll question “Obama’s Soon-to-be Ex”, that’s something else the media is willfully ignoring; “Michelle”(?) has been absolutely trashing Barack His Own Self on her podcasts @ every opportunity. She trashes him, the WH, their life there, & even her kids @ one point.
Bizarre. TTBOMK no former First Lady has ever done that. She is one very angry individual.
She knew what kind of dog she was laying with ; little late for regrets .
Item 18. They created sign language in jive? That should be fun to watch. The sign we see a lot of will probably be for the N word.
That's the word I wondered about. How about "double middle fingers"??
Don’t worry, libs, Alligator Alcatraz is just a temporary home, they get to return to their beautiful homes that they love so much that they still fly their flags and behave like their thugs. You take offense when we call them “shitholes”, what’s the problem?
ITEM 1: Benny Johnson tweeted, “Jaguar’s sales have collapsed 97.5% since they put out this ad.”
That leaves 2.5% revenue - about the percentage of the population that affiliates directly or indirectly with this sick pedo lifestyle.
I hope the sales decrease sticks even longer than with Bud Light.
Long gone are the days of the V12 XKE
The XKE was classic; the days of Jaguar have been long gone; what a shame; it was once a great name and look.
In the time long ago, I used to have an XKE convertible - what a beautiful car, too bad it spent so much time in the repair shop!
I understood w old Jaguars you had to buy two - 1 for the shop and 1 to drive’…I guess TaTa sold them….
There was a company that make a complete swap kit to install a GM engine in the XKE. We had a custom shop in our town that make some serious money doing these. Had several customers that had their cars shipped into this shop for the swap. What started it, there was a doctor that had a collection of Jag's and got tired with his cars spending so much time in the shop.

Ok. I’m jealous. I only had a ‘67 Sunbeam Alpine, influenced by Sean Connery and Dr No. British racing green. Twin Stromberg CD carbs.
I need a do-over.
Cookie- that was the "rub" with those cars. Still, they were sleek and cool.... only cool cats drove XKEs.
My favorite line today was in item 27: "I want her husband to Be Beast."
