10/08/24: OOPS! At any rate, that "historian" should have said, “She’s a woman of color ... pulling herself up by her panty straps. That’s the American Dream story.”
Tell the truth.
Saleh of the NY Jets was fired today. Pantystraps gets fired on 11/05/24.
There's a Chinese saying that if you save someone's life, you're responsible for them forever. This is just my way of trying to say thank you. ❤️- Upgrade to a blue button, and I will send you an Amazon card for the difference.
The Dems are are so cocky about their ability to steal this election, (just as they did in 2020, only now on steroids), they feel they could run a serial killer and still win.
And considering our border situation - or total lack thereof - and all the murderers running rampant in our streets, they kind of are.

The left just has to slow the recovery down a week or so to have a major impact on the number of people able to vote. Not a conspiracy theory, just a fact.
I have worked in the search and rescue community. FEMA is demonstrating how not to conduct operations. We all know the agency's performance is designed this way from the top. We also know the billions spent on Covid relief and support for illegals is just another way of saying "Democratic corruption and theft is operating on a grand scale."
When someone claims Milton is your fault, ask them to explain The Great Hurricane of 1780. It is the Atlantic Hurricane with the highest death toll. (20k+)Winds estimated at 200 mph. It happened during The Little Ice Age. ( It may have contributed to the victory at Yorktown in October of 1780 as it substantially weakened British navel power in the Atlantic.)
And it doesn't hurt that Elon Musk is Starlink owner--when the DOT was blocking them he complained on X. Subsequently (according to Musk in his interview with Tucker, posted last night), Pete Buttiegieg called him to "clear it up"--problem at least partially solved.
Then again, the lack of broadband is 100% on the Biden/Harris administration as they cancelled the original FCC contract (let in Dec 2020) which would have provided Starlink far earlier to places like Western NC.
Side note--of the iirc $42B allocated to rural broadband there were, as of this summer exactly ZERO rural connections. And our gal Kamala was the broadband "csar"
Geez, seems like Kamala as a "Csar" is imitating the failures of Tsar Nicholas
The Obama-Biden-Harris admin has "spent" billions on such things as EV charging stations and Internet service to rural areas but the bottom line is always the same. The money disappears into Dem donors and cronies while producing nothing for taxpayers.
This is truly a new low for FEMA who in the past has always seemed to me to be a well organized, efficient operation, however, thank God, I've never had to be on the receiving end of their giving. I lived in Austin when we had the Memorial Day flood and that was a doozy. They, or someone was receiving clothing donations at some empty parking garage and I joined with many others who cleaned out our closets to donate whatever we could. That operation flowed very smoothly and efficiently like a well oiled machine
FEMA has a mandate to assist - underline assist - and coordinate local resources as in government assistance programs. What FEMA is doing in the wake of Helene far exceeds its authority. FEMA managers are confiscating private resources, threatening private organizations, threatening private citizens attempting to help their fellow citizens and blocking efforts of those who are legally beyond FEMA's mandate. In other words, FEMA is another rogue organization led by outlaws.
No, I thought I was replying to Reddog: I get so confused. Sorry.

Don't know who Sheila, but I also saw the video. Narrator said that 2 black SUV's slow rolled into the staging area shortly before the helo appeared and did it's destructive performance. Probably someone who works in one of our gubment agencies
This is why Vance did a masterful job not falling for the trap set in the debate. The debate was set up to appeal to undecided women who would view JD as a meany head just like his boss. Trouble was he is a lot smarter that these three women and it backfired on them. He took all the loaded questions and handled them with grace and diplomacy. Just the way vacuous women who are undecided like to hear.
"The selection of Walz was a fairy tale. A regular guy. A National Guardsman. A schoolteacher. A moderate. A fellow who put tampons in the boys’ room. A fellow who quit the National Guard rather than go to Iraq. A schoolteacher in Red China for a year. A friend of school shooters. A knucklehead."
I believe this individual might be a one of a kind and is that talented, charismatic leader of the Ukraine. Many ladies long to see him perform but he has been too busy counting his money.
"“It’s the most difficult oral exam on the planet for the most difficult job, and part of that is just that spontaneous — town halls, all kinds of interviews, and not just friendly interviews."
The only oral exam she ever passed was the one Willie Brown gave her.
Needless to say, I want Trump/Vance to be elected. But that wish is separate from the conclusion I've reached about Kamala's personality, which is peculiar without precedent in our history. But just calling it "peculiar" will not do. Instead, "dangerous" and "risky" are more accurate terms.
First of all, it is an incontrovertible truth that in politics, WORDS count above all. But when publicly speaking she continually loses track of her own verbiage, repeatedly spouting meaningless clichés 'till even some diehard Dems scratch their heads. No matter how you look at this, it is not a sign of great intelligence, nor of self-control or of self-awareness. Wars have started over mere words.
Secondly, we have learned -- from Democrats, no less -- that in private she bullies her staff, spouting obscenities and imposing rules of conduct you might expect of potentates like Ivan the Terrible. And the people subjected to this abuse are the least deserving ones -- again, because they're Democrats, who tend to venerate their politicians as Saviors.
These observable oddities add up to a very risky personality, the kind who, if undeservedly elected to the country's highest office, may make moves that serve no good purpose except to compensate for her own insecurity. In plain words, it's tough to be stupid, but stupid does as stupid is, and stupidity can create big messes, in a hurry.
For examples, check the YouTube videos about big buildings or big equipment that fail catastrophically because of one stupid person.
Very perceptive. Yet the media, even the conservative media, has been devoid of even armchair psychoanalysis of Kamala’s bizarre personality. Her instinctual Marxism and authoritarianism is wrapped in layers of insecurity to mask her mediocre intellect.
Wim ,I think she speaks as she does due to being an egotist with a foggy mind curtesy of a long relationship with alcohol. Trying to play catch up with out effort to familiarize ones self with the facts is affirmative action in action.
You may be right about that, Marlan, including that with alcoholics the effects will vary with their personalities, usually intensifying their negative traits. Take Hillary, for example ... Unlike Kamala, who gets boozy-silly, Hillary's Chardonnay just makes her more nasty-mean.
In both cases, the results are there for everyone to see.
Perfection presented by Surber,news analyst extraordinaire .. Don does what journalists are supposed to but seem incapable of doing. Lets make 2024 a MAGA win top to bottom on ballots shall we .
Frankly, I don’t think Willie had set a high bar. I had a 6 year stint working in ‘The City’ during his reign. Homelessness oozed over from the tenderloin to the financial district. Aggressive panhandlers and the stench from urine soaked sidewalks are what I most remember from those days…oh and the mentally ill schizophrenic mumblers roaming freely, defecating while leaning against the closest high rise. It was a daily obstacle course making it into work with the inmates on every corner.
Then there was the AID’s crises, still in full bloom and the added gift of Father Fauci pontificating on the nightly news creating false hope abt a vaccine. Anyone with any sense at all could see he was a grifter just like Willie and the hand jive arm piece. Dante’s inferno? Close enough.
I refer to your "WWIIM": Get a hold of "Our Share of Night, A Personal Narrative of The War Years," Drew Middleton [1913-1990]; The Viking Press (1946 hardcover).
Thanks for the tip, Don, but I already have a huge collection of WWII books, not all of which I have read yet; and they include quite a few personal recollections.

We have a new puppy, a rescue. 5 month old Boxer/Pit mix. Easily distracted by things that go "Squeak". Bring a laser pointer into the mix, and oh, boy. He resembles the Lamestream Media in a way: becomes so focused on something - a smell, usually - that if he's not on a lead, he will not look at or listen to anyone else, as if they have no existence. The way the lamestream yahoos act in regard to news that doesn't reflect their narrative, actively goes against it, or they simply don't want to see it.
Luckily, JB responds very well to treats and praise. I think he'll be a fine gentleman when he gets older. (Good thing, too. His 3.5 yo sisters, Louie and Fenris, are busy "educating" him in household etiquette. He might even survive. LOL)
JB is his nickname for Jayne Beanz. My wife Loki decided that he reminds her of the character Jayne from Firefly...I've no idea why. Beanz was my idea for his first name, but she wasn't havin' it...Nope, not referring to His Assholiness.
KV, I figured it was just a coincidence, NOT that you would every consider naming a precious pup after FJB.
However, it ticked me to consider that Biden does love his treats (like ice cream) and squeaky toys (all that $$ from China, Ukraine, etc as well as fake adulation from the MSM and Hollywood).
-->“She’s a woman of color with interesting heritage, with her dad coming from Jamaica and her mother coming from India...<--
I love these constructs--media falling over itself to portray someone as 'exotic,' as if the accident of one's birth is meaningful. It's the same argument once used for hereditary monarchy. An argument clearly past its sell-by date.
There a graphic meme floating around, "Let show you the place in Africa where Kamala's ancestors came from," with the narrator pointing to the Indian sub-continent.
Apologize if I have said this before, speaking as a woman, I am ready to vote to repeal the 19th Amendment. I am not sure what is more insulting, trans women or Claire McCaskill telling me why women like Tampon Tim (let me womansplain, Claire, I would not want to be in a foxhole with that idiot). I could go on, but let me end with apparently there was a guy in Mexico that just got elected as mayor & within a week was beheaded.
Sorry. I forgot to turn on comments.
And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth: from the Surb junkies who were unable to bloviate. Blue buttons excluded..
10/08/24: No comments?! I must admit, for a second there, I felt like a cellphone owner in western North Carolina.

And the army they will need to put down the uprising from the steal.
Yes, Obama’s ‘civilian army’ he dreamed of in his first mixed racial win.
You mean the ones with blue helmets?
I don’t think they wear identifiable uniforms. They prefer to be diverse.

Jim, I read somewhere earlier today that FEMA has become infested with the DEI virus
That is absolutely true. DEI is the standard for all federal agencies and the military under Biden-Harris
This is truly a new low for FEMA who in the past has always seemed to me to be a well organized, efficient operation, however, thank God, I've never had to be on the receiving end of their giving. I lived in Austin when we had the Memorial Day flood and that was a doozy.

Grok-Don sent me to google for that one. A friend 30 years younger than I admitted he didn't know what WADR meant.
I have teenage grandkids that try and keep me up to date on shit that I would instead not be updated on.
What's WADR?
With all due respect.
10/08/24: If they had any respect, they'd spell it out.
To me, "she passed" suggests that she proved herself fit for the job. Maybe you meant: she took it and proved she was a dud?
Read it again. Comedy.

Sometimes it's just too subtle for some🙃
