ITEM 1: Ed Morrissey tweeted, “About to see Oppenheimer. Hope it’s not a bomb.” I don’t know. It may be the film for you, but it ain’t the film Fermi. ITEM 2: Fox reported, “Bowe Bergdahl court-martial conviction for Army desertion thrown out by federal judge.”
Dogs very often reflect their masters. Nice owners general have pleasant well behaved dogs, at least that is my experience. We know how Slimy Joe is so is it a stretch to think the dogs in question follow the lead of their master?
I love the picture of the man with the little one on his lap while riding a motorcycle. I have a neighbor who does the exact same thing, which I think is very cool. His kids absolutely love it! I keep think some liberal will see them and report him to child protective services or the FBI or some other government agency to be arrested. I was born on ranch/farm in West Texas and my Dad would put me or one of my older brothers on the back of our calves and let us get bronked off, with him running nearby to catch us before we hit the dirt. Or, at least, try to do, as we routinely didn't get caught before landing. I just remember the exhilaration of flying through the air. Such fun! He would be arrested these days for doing it.
We did soo many things as kids that would have CPS up in our s*it that it amazes me, that we are mostly normal. Lord, the whole range from climbing trees, and swing sets to riding in the window of the Buick. My brothers were both pyros so our family held a monthly fire drill to the amusement of the neighbors but we knew how to get out of the 2 story house, with and without the window ladder.
As kids, my brother, sister and I played in the swamps of the nearby bayou among the water moccasins and possibly gators, and climbed up on the roof of our ranch style house and jumped off of it. Our parents let us do it.
omg, yes. I lived in VA next to a swamp. our dog hated water moccasins. Dad always knew there was one in the garage when Blackie went nuts. Happened at least once a month when it was hot. One of my best memories is of Dad and Mom, spraying my brothers down with the hose outside and pealing another layer off and spraying them down again. All the while yelling at them. We had gotten back from getting clothes, and new shoes. Of course we hit the swamp before changing. My brothers were just a yr apart and wore the same size shoes. They had both lost the left one, boy was Dad hot. He kept yelling about having to buy 2 new pairs of shoes and they didnt have the sense to lose one of each but both left ones.
The problem with kids today is they’re not allowed to play in the dirt, take risk and get hurt. Get in fights and beat each other up. Then enjoy being friends again.
I blame little Adam Walsh who got himself kidnapped and killed when my child was the very same age. I sort of did basic training for Helicopter Moms. Even taught son a "secret word" to use in such a situation. Boy are young protective mothers weird.
My wife was getting wiggy with our first born. I told her to consider all the men in professional sports that grew up in extreme poverty playing n the dirt and filth. They are as healthy as horses.
Like I did, your wife probably washed and scrubbed anything that was about to go into First Born's mouth. As soon as this little precious-family-name-carrier could pull up on anything, he headed for the trash bin and just chowed down! My 1st born loved to crawl around with my keyring in his fist because it made a cheery sound when he crawled (thump-clank, thump-clank). He pulled up on the swing top trash bin, dropped the keys in there among egg shells and coffee grounds. The cherry little thump-clank stopped. Fear the Quiet.
When my wife was a baby, her mother made all guests wash their hands with hydrogen peroxide before they touched her. Now she has all sorts of allergies.
Aw shucks. She could have ordered a fresh new set of allergies as soon as she turned 21! That'd show her Helicopter Mama! I was delighted to learn during the recent unpleasantness of CV19, that I have natural immunity. Everyone in my family both near and far, got it twice. Me, not at all. The entire episode was for me just a wonderful excuse to not go anywhere I didn't want to go. Or to barge on full speed ahead. Sadly I attended a lot of funerals.
Regarding item #9.....it's not in the least surprising, as dogs tend to take on the personality of their owners. Joe Biden is, and always has been a mean, quick to anger son of a bitch. Need I say more?
This past week I was working in a residence with seven young children and two dogs. The dogs were constantly growling and barking at me. On Thursday the kids were gone in the morning, just me and the dogs. Not one growl. When the kids returned later in the afternoon, it was back to growling as usual.

The article said:
This means restoring natural ecosystems that can act as carbon sinks and deploying various carbon removal technologies.
Mr. Surber said:
"Photosynthesis" which is correct. I prefer to use "TREES" so the liberals, who are quite stupid AND dishonest, won't get confused. I don't understand why the left continues to be so dishonest because there is SO much more to remember. Watch any interview with AG Merrick Garland to know how true that is.
What gets me is that the leftist are all up in arms over fracking then propose to try and meld CO2 into rocks to reduce CO2 which is actually more destructive and destabilizing then fracking for oil. plus.... mmmmm CO2 is PLANT food. I thought we all had to eat PLANTS and ewww bugs to save the planet. so we cant eat meat because riasing cows, chickens and the like causes CO2 so they want us to get rid of cows but we are also going to reduce what plants eat, so that when we all have to eat plants, there wont be enough plants.
I want mustard to go with all the pretzels this idiots turn themselves into.
One of those obscure things that doesn’t matter, (but life depends on it) but as I understand it photosynthesis incorporates the CO2 molecule into a carbohydrate and in the process an oxygen atom is freed from a water molecule. So most of the carbon in your food was once CO2
As Mr Surber is fond of saying, “Carbon dioxide is a nutrient not a pollutant.”
What the left really desires is to “reduce the surplus population” (C Dickens, A Christmas Carol). At every decision these evil people make, is to make the world uninhabitable for everyone else but themselves.
Bergdahl is among my personal favorites to be charged and executed for the deaths of those searching for him due to his stupidity and cleverness he had in making them think he was a comrade in arms. I don't know if I see any difference between Bergdahl and Biden and his entire administration in terms of how they should be dealt with. Cheery thought for the weekend. LOL
What I dont understand how a civilian court can dismiss a military charge. He was tried in a military court, it should have been a military court that dismissed it. Oh wait they tried that and the military told him to pound sand.
Yeah, they both have a special place in a very hot place. Both Merrick Garland and Bergdahl. Bergdahl knowingly left his post and put everyone in danger. Id say he should be there in the hottest spot but MG is just a vendictive AH and caused more damage to the DOJ.
ok my brain is not working that great this morning. So honest question, are you implying that DOJ was beyond repair before Merrick Garland as AG (it was, MG made it 10 times worse), or are you just changing subjects? or is this a rhetorical question?
The DOJ is the department of just us. Garland didn't break it, Barry big ears didn't break it. He'll, Clinton didn't break it. The entire thing is corrupt.. If I were Trump, I wouldn't trust them for a second. JFK got sandbagged by them while his brother was AG.
The whole machine committed sedition against Trump. Banish the lot to Bikini and resume nuclear testing.
I'm not going to argue about MG making it ten times worse, I simply cannot wrap my head around that being possible.
About that ship in #26: When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher did a demonstration in class. He took a small piece of sodium metal out of its sealed container, and dropped it into a container of water. It burst into flames! The flames and smoke continued for several minutes until the sodium was gone. Lithium and sodium are in the same column at the far-left end of the Periodic Table. https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/periodic-table/ Being in the same column means they share multiple characteristics. Both elements are highly reactive, and are almost never found in a pure state in nature. Our fire crews are accustomed to use water to put out fires. But putting water on a fire started by lithium or sodium will make it worse!
Our rural volunteer fire department has had some training on electric car fires. We hope we never have one, and if we do, we will let it burn itself out while trying to prevent the fire from spreading to the woods, etc. no matter how much training, I would not want to be on a car hauling ship with electric cars.
Funny you would say that. California hit a mini heat wave and the EV's all ran out of power due to the heat. Are the police and fire depts. really that stupid to forget logic and do what they are blindly told to do ?? I think the answer is YES !
See my follow-on comment on this thread. Our entire station would retire. The good news is we couldn’t afford an electric truck even if we were stupid enough to want one so I will continue on with what I love.
America la France, which is the designer and builder of most firetrucks in the United States,would probably laugh at competition from any other builder of such necessary products.
If my understanding is correct, you are going to be in a really bad way if you are responding to a serious fire, such as an airplane crash. As Clint Eastwood said in the "THE ENFORCER" 'That's a hell of a price to be stylish.'
What happens if you are trying to outrun a burn over situation? And you run out of juice? Can't get a jerrycan full of electrons. I've seen several situations that were either close run or outright deadly.
Does the forest service realize the trucks run at all times while fighting a fire? For diesel vehicles, it to ensure the batteries don’t drain while the lights are on, and when the pump runs, the engine drives the pump. In an EV, the truck may be drained half way through the incident, let alone the additional fire risk. And how long will the truck be out of service once the call is through? Recharge time will be massive. In the real world, once your truck is full of fuel and water, you are back in service.
Forest Service is a federal government agency. They have to follow the upper echelon dictates, similar to the military having to follow Silly Milly. I am sure the regular joes are cringing, waiting on retirement.
And no, I doubt the big bosses know or care about issues with batteries dying, the fact they will be in rough terrain, the need for diesel generators needed to charge EV trucks that have died or the wind/weather changing that then blows the fire back on the trucks. It is the epitome of stupid and that is just the handful of things I who am not a firefighter could think of. Tanks are the same way without the immediate fire hazard, though I bet they would blow up faster if being bombed so maybe not.
There was a fire on a ship containing nothing but electric cars and their batteries not two days ago and what you hope would never happen to you DID happen in the North Sea and your worst fears were realized. I did not hear that in the liberal media.
I thought we're not supposed to not believe in science cuz they're telling us it's all crap! I have taken people's knowledge of basic science for granted, They know nothing
Didn’t the guys that died in that submarine proudly announce that they didn’t believe in science? They don’t want any actually scientists in their crew?
This goes with the cargo ship fire that lost 4000 cars in March of last yr. I had to go look it up because we ribbed Don about his Bentley burning. I was having deja vu and had to check.
We had a locally famous person wreck their EV, it burned for better than 3 days. Nothing would put the fire out, and hazmat was on site trying. Neither the driver or passenger made it out. Also, recently there have been a rash of electric bike fires burning houses and apt buildings down in a lot of cities. So the 'authorities' are recommending the bikes be stored outside but they want you store your EV car in the garage and charge it there.
More on Leona Woods Marshall Libby. After her divorce from Marshall, Woods married Willard Libby, who like Woods was also an expert in analysis of radioisotopes. Their courtship was perhaps one of the earliest examples of carbon dating
ITEM 13 "One promising solution is direct air capture (or DAC), a technology that removes carbon directly from the ambient air through a chemical process.”
I read somewhere that Musk makes most of his Tesla money from selling carbon credits and not from selling cars. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Also, I'd like to hear about the science of cutting down thousands of trees in Scotland to make way for a giant wind farm. These lunatics are out of control.
My theory on the climate idiocy being promoted (and explains the cutting of thousands of trees in Scotland) is this: The greater the concentration of CO2, the healthier and bigger all plant life becomes, thus making the planet better able to feed everyone. By reducing CO2, and eliminating farming as they are by buying farmland, they will be in full control of the food supply. It is not about the air. It is about controlling a life-needed resource to keep the population under their thumb.
And, then, there is Gates' burning desire to sprinkle some sort of crap into the atmosphere to reduce the sun's lifegiving radiation. I wonder, do we the people have any say in this? I can't wait for the day when these elitist lunatics are running down the street, chased by a huge angry mob with a rope.
That one really really burns me because it mimics a volcano eruption. Werent they worried we would go into a cooling cycle because Mt St Helens erupted? Plus there are always between 50-60 volcano active volcano actions going on. All it takes is one really big one, and we end up in an ice age. It has happened before.
Subduction Volcanos such as Mt. St. Helens emit lots of CO2 from sea floor limestone that contain carbonates from CO2 dissolved in seawater and are part of the carbon cycle
Mother nature is a wonderful thing. Just wish the idiots would quit messing with her. Thanks for the info, that makes actual sense.
I was talking more about the ash being spewed into the air and blocking the sun as a more immediate problem. I remember reading the last mini ice age in North America was caused by volcanoes erupting. I thought it was mostly due to blocking of the sun.
"California's snowpack..." Glaciers are started when snow in valleys doesn't melt during the summer. Instead, it accumulates, until - presto - you have a new glacier. Time will tell. A lot of time.
You could start his last name with a bunch of different consonants to form any of a series of appropriate adjectives. Besides, doesn't (F)uckerberg remind you of a cyborg with his freckly stretch skin.
I recently saw Suckerberg on some online show and, seriously, showed him pulling on his face as if he were trying to adjust himself. Like Biden, he smiles but never laughs--similar to Satan.
Hagerman of Wy. and Kennedy of La. are examples of ideal brain function with common sense ,just differently expressed and both are very quoteable anywhere any time.
Item 26: thanks Don! You have given the gestapo another thing to charge President Trump with. Somehow they may find a way to say he is responsible for the 1st American civil war. After that look for Trump to be charged with making McLean Stevenson leave MASH and ruin the show.
I wanna know what was the quid pro quo for Bank of America giving the FBI the data on all their customers without a warrant? there must have been something juicy in it for them to do that.
Great round up this week. Unfortunately, as usual, most of the news and many of the people in it are insane. I’m not a particularly religious guy, but it’s impossible to look at what’s going on around us and not see the obvious biblical parallels.
We live in an age of fake values, fake news, and fake idols. The climate change scam cult,the sexual degeneracy/gender fluidity cult, the “anti-racism” scam cult the COVID scam cult, and the easy money cult ( also a scam) are not the answers and are all part and parcel of an evil effort to take over the world. All the drugs and technology and ego driven excess will not make us better people or build a better society because they are premised upon lies and a big megaphone. The authoritarians worship a false authority. We see that every day as things get worse, not better.
We need to get back to basics and live based on the things that really matter: family, country, God, hard honest work, honor and the golden rule. You might find those things all around you if you take a look past the glitzy crap of the digital gilded age.
Sam Bankman Fried pisses me off. He’s gonna be the Hunter Biden of crypto, who did a lot of bad stuff, hurt a lot of people and then skates with a slap in the wrist. He pisses me off because he reinforces the notion that the cryptocurrency industry is just scammers. It is not. And he pisses me off because his parents are law professors at my alma mater, big Democrat activists, and like the other corrupt libtards in the faculty and jn administration , they are driving the reputation and the quality of the place into the ground. The President of Stanford just resigned because his lab was found to have engaged in at least a dozen incidences of fudging data for scientific publications. Last but not least, the university attempted to silence and punish two professors who spoke out accurately and early about COVID in order to reduce panic, stop lockdowns and masking, and provide accurate subsequently confirmed epidemiological information ( John Ioannidis and Jay Bhattacharya (sp?)).
Item 25 re Bergdahl conviction. In the linked article's comment section, many are questioning a federal judge's ability/jurisdiction to overturn a military courts martial decision. If this is actually legal and given that it was overturned on a technicality, at the very least, it would seem that the traitor. Bergdahl would have to be retried. Given that six soldiers died looking for this scumbag and we handed over five really bad terrorists to the Taliban for his worthless hide, I would hope that he doesn't receive an honorable discharge or any monetary compensation for his dishonorable actions in Afghanistan. Bottom line, our justice system has become an oxymoron.
Think for a moment. You need brain surgery (or open-heart surgery). You have only 2 options. One is a wonderfully diverse team consisting of a Black woman who has a medical degree from Granada, a guy who feels like a gal and belongs to a Spa in LA, a wise Latina and finally, a white woman who drinks Bud-Light and loves Ben and Jerry's Rocky Road. The other is the surgery team consisting of the 4 best surgeons assembled from the 4 best hospitals in the country. Your choice!

What great memories. Those were the days!!
We did soo many things as kids that would have CPS up in our s*it that it amazes me, that we are mostly normal. Lord, the whole range from climbing trees, and swing sets to riding in the window of the Buick. My brothers were both pyros so our family held a monthly fire drill to the amusement of the neighbors but we knew how to get out of the 2 story house, with and without the window ladder.
As kids, my brother, sister and I played in the swamps of the nearby bayou among the water moccasins and possibly gators, and climbed up on the roof of our ranch style house and jumped off of it. Our parents let us do it.
omg, yes. I lived in VA next to a swamp. our dog hated water moccasins. Dad always knew there was one in the garage when Blackie went nuts. Happened at least once a month when it was hot.

J'ever drink straight from the garden hose (which we called the hose pipe)? Meanies would swear a girl swallowed a snake that way.
And now for the present... R.I.P. (Rest In Petulance), Sinéad!
"Celebs, Press Storm South Hackensack Motel Seeking Sinéad O'Connor"
(The Daily Voice, Cliffside Park-Edgewater, August 14, 2017)
A superb news headline, even if its creator is unaware of its unsurpassed, unintentional absurdity.
Finally, someone has come along who is capable of lowering the standards of a Jersey hot-sheets motel to a previously unimaginable level of depravity.

Thanks for saying what I was thinking.
Not always. Many mean dogs are being super protective of their adopted family.
The dog sees Zou as weak, feeble, and in need of protection. The dog doesn't understand that the SS are there to help Xiden.
What they need is a Pitbull that will perceive weakness as a reason to challenge him for leader of the pack position.

More on Leona Woods Marshall Libby. After her divorce from Marshall, Woods married Willard Libby, who like Woods was also an expert in analysis of radioisotopes. Their courtship was perhaps one of the earliest examples of carbon dating
Good one
If there is ever a contest for the most obscure pun ....
ITEM 13 "One promising solution is direct air capture (or DAC), a technology that removes carbon directly from the ambient air through a chemical process.”
I read somewhere that Musk makes most of his Tesla money from selling carbon credits and not from selling cars. I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Also, I'd like to hear about the science of cutting down thousands of trees in Scotland to make way for a giant wind farm. These lunatics are out of control.
My theory on the climate idiocy being promoted (and explains the cutting of thousands of trees in Scotland) is this: The greater the concentration of CO2, the healthier and bigger all plant life becomes, thus making the planet better able to feed everyone. By reducing CO2, and eliminating farming as they are by buying farmland, they will be in full control of the food supply. It is not about the air. It is about controlling a life-needed resource to keep the population under their thumb.
A murder-suicide pact
And, then, there is Gates' burning desire to sprinkle some sort of crap into the atmosphere to reduce the sun's lifegiving radiation. I wonder, do we the people have any say in this? I can't wait for the day when these elitist lunatics are running down the street, chased by a huge angry mob with a rope.
That one really really burns me because it mimics a volcano eruption. Werent they worried we would go into a cooling cycle because Mt St Helens erupted? Plus there are always between 50-60 volcano active volcano actions going on. All it takes is one really big one, and we end up in an ice age. It has happened before.
Subduction Volcanos such as Mt. St. Helens emit lots of CO2 from sea floor limestone that contain carbonates from CO2 dissolved in seawater and are part of the carbon cycle
Mother nature is a wonderful thing. Just wish the idiots would quit messing with her. Thanks for the info, that makes actual sense.
I was talking more about the ash being spewed into the air and blocking the sun as a more immediate problem. I remember reading the last mini ice age in North America was caused by volcanoes erupting. I thought it was mostly due to blocking of the sun.
Mid-America could use another ice age right about now.
In spite of what you might have heard, I was not here when that happened, so I couldn't have caused it.
May I carry the rope?
Specifically, it is the the Chinese who are buying American farmland. They are farming semiconductors.
True, but Bill Gates is buying a lot too.
He wants to raise grasshoppers and crickets.
"California's snowpack..." Glaciers are started when snow in valleys doesn't melt during the summer. Instead, it accumulates, until - presto - you have a new glacier. Time will tell. A lot of time.
A new ice age in the Sierra Nevada Mountains would be sweet justice - and good for year-round skiing at Heavenly and Squaw Valley,
12 - the punching bag douchebag Zuckerberg is a scumbag.
You could start his last name with a bunch of different consonants to form any of a series of appropriate adjectives. Besides, doesn't (F)uckerberg remind you of a cyborg with his freckly stretch skin.
His (Soon to be) ex-wife stands to inherit almost two billion dollars when they divorce. Pretty high price to pay for a hooker.
Like a punching bag Zuck should not be touched without wearing heavy gloves
I recently saw Suckerberg on some online show and, seriously, showed him pulling on his face as if he were trying to adjust himself. Like Biden, he smiles but never laughs--similar to Satan.
I love to mix those particular metaphors. He should go live in Dirtbhagistan where they've never seen anyone whiter than a biscuit.
Hagerman of Wy. and Kennedy of La. are examples of ideal brain function with common sense ,just differently expressed and both are very quoteable anywhere any time.
Item 26: thanks Don! You have given the gestapo another thing to charge President Trump with. Somehow they may find a way to say he is responsible for the 1st American civil war. After that look for Trump to be charged with making McLean Stevenson leave MASH and ruin the show.
They are more likely to charge him with creating “Hello Larry”, a much bigger and more heinous crime.
That's a death penalty offense.
Probably should have not had coffee in my mouth when I read that comment Brilliant SL!
Yeah, and don't forget that meanie Lisa, on As the World Turns. He did all of that before he became a millionaire
I wanna know what was the quid pro quo for Bank of America giving the FBI the data on all their customers without a warrant? there must have been something juicy in it for them to do that.
A “Too Big to Fail” lifetime guarantee plus hordes of endless cash.
VIP protection ala vacumn bidet.s attempt.
Great round up this week. Unfortunately, as usual, most of the news and many of the people in it are insane. I’m not a particularly religious guy, but it’s impossible to look at what’s going on around us and not see the obvious biblical parallels.
We live in an age of fake values, fake news, and fake idols. The climate change scam cult,the sexual degeneracy/gender fluidity cult, the “anti-racism” scam cult the COVID scam cult, and the easy money cult ( also a scam) are not the answers and are all part and parcel of an evil effort to take over the world. All the drugs and technology and ego driven excess will not make us better people or build a better society because they are premised upon lies and a big megaphone. The authoritarians worship a false authority. We see that every day as things get worse, not better.
We need to get back to basics and live based on the things that really matter: family, country, God, hard honest work, honor and the golden rule. You might find those things all around you if you take a look past the glitzy crap of the digital gilded age.
Sam Bankman Fried pisses me off. He’s gonna be the Hunter Biden of crypto, who did a lot of bad stuff, hurt a lot of people and then skates with a slap in the wrist. He pisses me off because he reinforces the notion that the cryptocurrency industry is just scammers. It is not. And he pisses me off because his parents are law professors at my alma mater, big Democrat activists, and like the other corrupt libtards in the faculty and jn administration , they are driving the reputation and the quality of the place into the ground. The President of Stanford just resigned because his lab was found to have engaged in at least a dozen incidences of fudging data for scientific publications. Last but not least, the university attempted to silence and punish two professors who spoke out accurately and early about COVID in order to reduce panic, stop lockdowns and masking, and provide accurate subsequently confirmed epidemiological information ( John Ioannidis and Jay Bhattacharya (sp?)).
Item 25 re Bergdahl conviction. In the linked article's comment section, many are questioning a federal judge's ability/jurisdiction to overturn a military courts martial decision. If this is actually legal and given that it was overturned on a technicality, at the very least, it would seem that the traitor. Bergdahl would have to be retried. Given that six soldiers died looking for this scumbag and we handed over five really bad terrorists to the Taliban for his worthless hide, I would hope that he doesn't receive an honorable discharge or any monetary compensation for his dishonorable actions in Afghanistan. Bottom line, our justice system has become an oxymoron.
Just bury one of his boots in a military cemetery like with Benedict Arnold. Lest we forget. Never forget.
Think for a moment. You need brain surgery (or open-heart surgery). You have only 2 options. One is a wonderfully diverse team consisting of a Black woman who has a medical degree from Granada, a guy who feels like a gal and belongs to a Spa in LA, a wise Latina and finally, a white woman who drinks Bud-Light and loves Ben and Jerry's Rocky Road. The other is the surgery team consisting of the 4 best surgeons assembled from the 4 best hospitals in the country. Your choice!
Our 6th grade teacher asked us a similar question. "How would you feel if you learned your heart surgeon had cheated on his medical exam?"
