Item 20 re: removing RFK and Jill Stein from the ballot in several states. Heck, that’s nothing. Nancy Pelosi removed FJB from the ballot in every state.
Item 29 re: the breastfeeding SS agent. This is how DEI ruins organizations. No offense to the breastfeeding mom, but you don’t belong in that job and probably shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.
The lunatic leftists never seemed to understand that "accommodation" doesn’t negate the requirement to perform essential duties of the position. Being on-post as a secret service agent is the most basic essential duty.
Maybe she had already been let go - Buttigieg' SS detail quietly relieved her from the Secretary's detail.....anyone knows you can't out-produce the boss and expect to keep your job.....
We don't know that. She might be a decent agent but not when she's nursing. However, the fact that she is on active protective duty and not admin work while breastfeeding is f-ing insane. How stupid do you have to be to assign her like that?
More evidence that management in all department of the Federal government needs to be fired.
Every day I am getting a 5 x 7 postcard in my mailbox from RFK junie (that's what we call a junior in Appalachia) and every day, same message....fighting for women's rights to abortion, ZZzzzz. Right into the trash can.
Re: Item 29: Right answer, Jim. It is okay for a mom to self-feed her kid. But not when she's on critical national security duty. Pure DEI nonsense. If she critically needed to self-feed her kid, she could have taken sick leave to stay at home and out of this assignment. BTW, isn't the PC term "chest-feeding"? Petey B would likely insist on this. What a world we're forced to live in, eh?
She obviously believes she is too entitled to earn her salary; likely a child of liberal boomers, in a more perfect world where the simbioism of a society working in concert with valid evonomic laws provides good jobs and good opportunities for the energetic and ambitious, her ass would be fired with no pension.her highest and best opportunity - doing least damage to others would be a wet niurse.

Just read Hillbilly Elegy, and as someone who has been snarling at literary bullsh*t for sixty years, I commend it as the real thing. I mention this because I can't get X Photos to print (I can't print X Photos) and I wanted the lewd bathroom shot as a reminder that when JD Vance was that age, as he states in H.E., yes, he was overweight (which the USMC cured. Can the Pentagon draft Madame "Cheeseburger" Goldberg on The View?).
We have retreated and/or been kicked out of at least 11 countries in the last 3.5 yrs. Had to evac the embassies, ended up giving Niger, and a couple others perfectly good bases (dont know about equipment) and this does NOT include Afghanistan. Really FJB
ITEM 25: UPI reported, “Secret Service will use bulletproof glass to protect Trump at outdoor rallies.”
I think the lunatics have given up on the age-old technology of shooting their undesirable opponent especially since it didn't work in Butler, PA from 130 yards - a "gimme put" in golf terms.
Considering that both Trump's and Vance's separate planes have had to make emergency landings for unexpected issues, it would be so easy to do something catastrophic to the airframe/powerplant that would look so random.
I bet there's a lot of arguments among the elite caste. Should we kill him and make him a martyr or just cheat our way in?? I think the consensus is cheat our way in like last time but you never know.
They have plan A, B , and C so they can shift focus between them as things develop. There is no question they have plans for massive cheating - even doing things we haven’t thought of yet. The criminal mind is alive and well in the DNC.
Surber has done it again/each time I feel he has peaked there he goes again one upping himself.Thank the good Lord for having learned coffee breaks save keyboards when reading the recaps.Great post and poll to wrap the week so I hope you get the chance to go topless on your day off.Enjoy a MAGA 2024 and f the WHO !!!

YCMTSU Department. Columbia's Disciplinary Committee will review the actions of anti-Israel demonstrators on campus. Two professors sitting on the committee participated in the demonstrations. The odor of sewage is almost as strong as the smell of self-righteousness emanating from the "elite" universities, also known as cesspits.
The auto manufacturers are making more money selling your data than they made selling you the car. A modern car has 20 plus computers in it and keeps track of your location, speed, phone calls, texts, weight, seatbelt usage, hard acceleration and deceleration through yaw sensors, g force sensors, speed sensors, the Nav system, the Bluetooth system, the airbag system, etc. When John Baldacci was governor here, he and his state police driver were in an accident. He claimed he was wearing his seatbelt, a forensic analysis of the SRS system said otherwise.
I heard a news report that Ford is seeking a patent for technology that will not only monitor the speed and acceleration patterns of the Ford car but of cars around them. That data is to be sold to insurance companies and possibly police departments. I was already disappointed in them going all in on electric vehicles. Now they want to spy on not just their customers, but every driver on the road!
I think most car manufacturers have similar apps imbedded in their onboard computers. Hyundai calls theirs Blue Link. I stopped it when the subscription ran out.
Pretty sure ALL car makers have the data transferred, whether you have any subscription or not. It is an unending data stream of any and all data about your car as well as any cellphone data if you link up to the bluetooth. I would estimate the car companies get $5-10 a month from selling the data. You are paying $750 a month in insurance for a $50k car, and State Farm is insuring the risk of shelling out $20k for repairs or $$ in liability claims, $120 in annual data fees from $9000 in annual insurance premiums.......Win-Win!! only you just get a 'car payment' where everyone else has their hands in your pocket....
When I bought my last car in 2020, I had it custom made with a manual transmission (in my 55 years of driving, I’ve never owned an automatic.) and none of those bells and whistles like built in GPS. I just kept telling the salesman, “I don’t want that.” until we arrived at my perfect car.
It occurred to me to charge the dealer a monthly fee to retain the dealer sticker on the back of the car. It's advertising, right? If they don't agree, make them take the damned thing off.
I can’t believe you said “spaz”. So misanspazoginistic.
From the river to the lake, all the Dems are fake. It’s a mostly peaceful group of Communists at the convention riot.
The first time we fought the British they wore red coats and fired muskets. Now they are pink Commies trying to fire Elon Musk. One if by tweet, two if by meme. The fact checkers are coming! The fact checkers are coming!
Loren Boebert looks pretty good after 4 kids.
APL does too. Hillary not so much. Bill needed to hit the gym. He looked like he hasn’t lifted anything heavier than a cigar in a while.
The Secret Servix sent the D minus team to Butler, messed up on every security protocol known to man and mouse, and then the local cops took out the shooter? I’m sure it’s all a coincidence. They aren’t traitors. Like Biden, who is totally not demented, at his final debate, they just had a really bad day.
On a serious note I hope Trump has somebody who isn’t trying to harm him taking care of security at this point. I trust the SS like I trust Juan Merchan and Tiananmen Timpon.
From an earlier apology to the Surbs-- Yes, I know, Cashion and I are fighting for the most obnoxious commenter. Cute-FWIW, I prefer Post Meridian, Phillip Morris, Prime Minister, Project Manager, Perfect Madhar. Do better. When do you get your FM medallion?
Top moment of Courage for the Week. Don Surbur choosing a Lie of the Week. #14 RFK, Jr. is correct. His father and uncle would not fit into today's Dem Party. Irony alert. RFK. Jr. is too radical to fit into the Dem Party of his father and uncle. #20. Don't you love how the Democrats save democracy by removing candidates from ballots at home and supporting the barbaric enemies of the only democracy in the Middle East? Jon Stewart, King of Fake News, has been outed as the secret author of the Kamala Harris/DNC playbook. #29. Crapper Alert: Biden-Harris, DOJ, FBI, USSS, IRS and Joint Chiefs have intentionally clogged every DC toilet. The raw sewage flowing in DC streets is overflowing into every waterway in America. Trump must invade DC with an army of plumbers and street sweepers or America is lost.

Rights, whether civil rights, human rights or individual rights are a declaration, an assertion regarding equal protection before the law, equal protection under the law, irrespective. Making exceptional or exclusionary provisions for special groups calling for particular and/or specific rights not incumbent on other groups, which other groups, however defined, are not entitled, is discrimination--not civil rights.
We used to have free market economy. We used to have freedom of speech. We used to have a funtioning legal system. We used to have a reaonably functioning voting system. We used to have a secure border. We used to know what a woman is. We used to have stable definitions of common words. Shall I go on?

Go right ahead and offend her and then fire her from the job.
The lunatic leftists never seemed to understand that "accommodation" doesn’t negate the requirement to perform essential duties of the position. Being on-post as a secret service agent is the most basic essential duty.
She MUST be fired.
Words like essential duties are racist now. I think
Maybe she had already been let go - Buttigieg' SS detail quietly relieved her from the Secretary's detail.....anyone knows you can't out-produce the boss and expect to keep your job.....
I am sooo glad the coffee is still brewing....
The problem is they get promoted
We don't know that. She might be a decent agent but not when she's nursing. However, the fact that she is on active protective duty and not admin work while breastfeeding is f-ing insane. How stupid do you have to be to assign her like that?
More evidence that management in all department of the Federal government needs to be fired.
Nah - no conscientious employee at any job does something like that. She shirked the primary responsibility of the job. Firing offense.
There's some managers that need to be imprisoned...
Plus she got 2 family and the baby around security points. AND she didnt tell her on site boss she was going to breastfeed.
There are accommodations and then there is out right stupid. She should be fired for being stupid.
Stupid by design??
Kinda sad this even needs to be said, no?

Sad, really really sad.
Oh and the current CEO from Germany that runs Harley Davidson, confessed he planned on DEIing the company to death. Wont take long.

Shrugged, I pray you are wrong
They could arrange a Prigozhin, so nobody would ever know. Except there would need to be 2 Prigozhins, since they fly in separate planes.
