From Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton:
“Kamala Harris promising to secure the border is like O.J. Simpson promising to find the real killer.”

My Kinda Folks
I was chuckling over this little thing:
…when New Wife peered over my shoulder and commented: “Your kind of people altogether. So while you’re looking up the cost of flights to Finland, get me the same for a one-way to Mauritius.”
We live in different worlds…
(Of course, I need to get the rest of my guns out of hock first.)
Suggestion & Response
This may become a regular feature:
And the response:
There’s an old saying which goes something like “Never start an argument with a man who buys ink by the barrel”.
How much more appropriate a warning against starting an argument with a man who controls the largest electronic media outlet in the world.
Just Sayin’
In response to this kind of nonsense:
My own personal policy is that if someone, anyone, starts shooting at me from the street when I’m sitting peaceably on my porch, I return fire, with interest (a.k.a. “massive retaliation”).
And just in case I haven’t been clear enough: I don’t own a stupid paintball gun.
I can’t see it happening in Texas, mind you, mostly because I believe that more than a few Texans are of similar inclination. And our cops aren’t that stupid. (“You want us to do whut?”)
Flipping Wonderful
Okay, now I’ve seen everything:
And the best part? It’s a sex toy for men, for a change. To see how it works, follow the link; it’s kind of interesting.
I know, I know: “Who needs it?” “What’s wrong with the old Mrs. Palm and her five offspring?” “That’s just perverted!” “Don’t need it.” “It’s too damn expensive anyway.”
I must confess that I’m not in the target market — even when I was young enough to be so — but I find it intriguing as hell.
But I’ll tell you something for nothing. When I think back on some past experiences, I bet the Tenga Flip Zero Gravity is better than a lot of those.
Alternative
News from the Car Company Formally Known As Jaguar:
Jaguar is set to embark on a daring strategy move as part of its transition to becoming an exclusive EV brand; the company says it won’t sell a single car for a whole year.
The British marque has pledged to become a ‘luxury all-electric brand’ from 2025, but to do so it says it will need to take a 12-month hiatus from the market.
Its last remaining combustion-engine model on sale will be the F-Pace SUV, which is due to bow out early next year.
Wouldn’t have any of their existing cars as a gift, because with the possible exception of the F-type, they’re as ugly as Hillary Clinton’s knickers. (Sorry.)
Anyway, I’d rather get an older Jag, any day of the week, e.g. this fully-restored 1956 XK140:
…which will cost you about the same as a new F-type. Wait… 3.4-liter straight six, capable of 140mph, with a stick shift. Try and get the same thrill as that with a Duracell microwave-on-wheels.
As for the opening paragraph of this post: they may call themselves Jaguar, but they aren’t.
