Might need to have a toke or two after reading this news roundup…
From the Disaster Known As Government:
...one wonders, just out of curiosity of course, how the Blackhawk’s pilot would have responded if he’d started to take fire from the ground. Just idly wondering, of course.
...and just when you thought Catch-22 was out of date.
From the Education Department:
...keyword: Australia.
...now that’s overachieving, even for #Wisconsin. And… 11?
...no. Now onto our next item:
...she’s lying. I bet she doesn’t even know what Gen her alleged Glock is, never mind how to load it.
In Furrin News:
...maybe because they’re four times as likely to be criminals?
...bravissima, Signora Meloni.
...keyword: Mexico.
And now for some Truly Stupid News:
...oh FFS; next thing: Laundry SWAT? Oh wait; first: Banter Police.
#BritainIsDoomed
...young Romeo needs hanging.
...doesn’t matter; their fries have been shit ever since they stopped frying them in beef tallow anyway.
And in ever-link-free 
...fucking Disney has a lot to answer for.
And a quick visit to 
reveals:
...ahhh Alica Schmidt; the best thing to come out of Germany since the Mercedes Gullwing.
And that’s all the nudes news worth uncovering.
Would it be too much to hope that Bill Gates would be negatively impacted by the McDonald’s supplier closing its plant in Washington? You know, since he has 14000 acres in Washington growing that particular crop.
With any luck!
Or as some express it, from your lips to God’s ear. It isn’t right that such people receive financial rewards for such anti-human, anti- liberty beliefs, policies, and actions.
Two small observations, both food related..
First, I got to thinking about the last time I ate fries that I really liked. I am doing the keto thing so fries are not on the menu anymore, but I had a hard time coming up with fries I really remember liking. The only one that came close was 5 Guys, and that was probably because of the sheer volume they gave at the time. I think they used peanut oil.
Secondly, I don’t know about your area, but Audi DOES NOT have a bacon aisle around here. That’s just a bullcrap story! Ladies, here’s a dating tip: Cruise for your next man in Wegmans,, because if you are shopping there, the men have $$ and know the value of good meat. Bring your A game though, because guys there (the ones without man buns) know the value of good meat.
Mexico does have an effective way to get politicians out of office. The D’s probably have nothing to worry about, though.
That result for the Mayor has all the earmarks for the Mexican movie called “La Ley Herodias” (Herod’s Law), which was banned in Mexico for an unspecified period of time.
I’m starting to love X.

Lizzo has reached (or, is getting near to) her 15min of fame, and is grasping for relevance.
Dramatic weight loss would be far more than what she is hefting – still in the ‘land whale’ zone, and a health threat to her wellbeing. The comment ‘I have to give my body what it needs’ is classic avoidance – getting fat is easy, regaining your health is a commendable, but very hard, road to travel. I am on that road too.
I do like females with a bit of bounce (and butt), but she got too many extra helpings…
Is the government actively preventing the restoration of services to Western North Carolina since that region typically votes Republican and the election is coming up? that’s a worse scandal than Katrina in New Orleans because Nagin and Landreau or whatever the governor name was, failed to stage and request resources from the Feds
I think for any politician who is going to claim to be anything vaguely pro gun:
1. Should be able to recite from memory the five favorite guns that they own. If they have fewer than five, that’s fine but they should list them all. Bonus points for variety.
2. If asked in an interview if they own a gun and they claim that they do, the must provide the name of the manufacturer, model, and chambering. I have yet to meet a gun owner who can’t provide that information from memory for every firearm they own. I might have almost believed Kackles if she’d said “Yes, I have a Glock 19 in 9mm” or something to that effect. Bonus points if they have purchased some more esoteric brand (considering for most people Glock is pretty much to handguns what Kleenex is to facial tissue).
3. If they go out to actually demonstrate proficiency with a firearm, they must be able to safely load, and operate said firearm. This includes proper trigger discipline. Bonus points for being able to resolve any mechanical failure of said firearm. Walz’s recent hunting expedition would have embarrassed any real gun enthusiast.
4. Must be able to recite the four rules. No exceptions.
I don’t necessarily think that 100% accuracy on nomenclature (e.g. clip vs. magazine) is required as I think even the most literate and knowledgeable can sometimes slip up. Nor would I expect a politician to be able to wax at length on some of the “insider baseball” within gun enthusiast circles (e.g. 9mm vs. .45).
However, these four, to me, seem to demonstrate the kind of familiarity with firearms that would allow me to consider a politician at least a nominal fellow traveller on guns.
My question for Kamala and her famous Glock is, “Can she even rack the slide?” She doesn’t strike me as being someone with a particularly strong grip (on anything — especially reality).
The thing about the $750, that is a loan, not a gift; and it needs to be paid back. The Fed Gov’t can seize your property if it isn’t paid back.
[shades of the $500 Slick Willie “gave” before his election, which was then deducted from your tax return later on]
Which makes the $8 billion announced for Ukraine and $157 million for Lebanon even more offensive.
If we claim we’re Lebanese/ Ukranian, does that mean we can keep the $750 measly dollars?
