Citizens are actually at a disadvantage as they must pay taxes and don't qualify for free stuff.; 5/23/24, 5:20 PM

Howard said...: Everyday that I wake up knowing that I was born in the mid 20th century on the west coast of the United States of America and have enjoyed all of the cornucopia of opportunity in every single aspect of life that the entire world wants to become a part of, I feel very very lucky.

I also don't begrudge anyone else who wants to have a slice of white privilege. Since I don't believe this universe is a zero-sum game, I'm not a whining complaining crying scared jealous greedy weak ass no good rotten slimy piece of shit who thinks that poor people have some huge advantage over our law abiding tax paying middle class unprecedented opulent lifestyles.; 5/23/24, 6:58 PM

Narr said...: Just booked a flight to Belgium for some historical battlefield tourism with old friends in early October. Hoping that Dubyadubya Three (the really big one) holds off until after we get back.

There was a weird muddle here about Elvis Presley's Graceland being foreclosed on, but apparently it was just a big misunderstanding. Neither Elvis nor Lisa Marie had a lick of business sense, it seems. Perhaps Riley Keough will break the pattern.; 5/23/24, 8:39 PM

Drago said...: Over-compensating Non-combat "vet" Howitzer Howard: "Since I don't believe this universe is a zero-sum game, I'm not a whining complaining crying scared jealous greedy weak ass no good rotten slimy piece of shit who thinks that poor people have some huge advantage over our law abiding tax paying middle class unprecedented opulent lifestyles."

The US military veterans tossed out of their accommodations to make room for illegal aliens as well as the US military veterans turned away from VA medical services so illegal aliens can utilize the system would clearly disagree with you.

But given your clear disdain for actual combat veterans, nothing you write or say surprises me.

And should we even cover how overrun the school systems are with US citizen special needs children kicked to the curb to accommodate your open borders pals?

No Howard. You had white privilege and you made basically nothing out of it and you actually gleefully celebrate the hell your preferred policies are having on non white privileged minorities and poor whites today.

How many rapes, assaults and murders are you okay with by your 22 million + illegals?

Trick question! You are okay with ALL of them.; 5/23/24, 9:33 PM
FullMoon said...: Trump can talk fast and non stop without a prompter. Biden, not so much.
Plenty of stuff for MSM to mis-quote and efit.; 5/23/24, 9:39 PM
Mark said...: The green flash is a wonderful moment.

Need to get out to Picnic Point more often. Saw my first Northern Lights there on a first date, post Memorial Union music.

No wonder the Ho Chunk built mounds there. It's a special location; 5/23/24, 9:41 PM
Drago said...: Of course, no doubt Howard's favorite open borders result is the estimated 450,000 unaccompanied children brought into the US with an estimated 100,000 untracked children that are being used as worker slaves and/or sexual victims.

Howard must be so very, very proud, if not tittilated, of the open borders policies Team Dem/LLR have delivered.

Howard claims to have grandchildren. The next time Howard looks at them perhaps he should spend a moment picturing children that age in sexual bondage.

But who am I kidding? If he was even remotely capable of that he wouldn't be a dem/LLR.

"Zero sum" indeed.; 5/23/24, 9:47 PM

LOL! “At least 100,000 children in the U.S. are commercially sexually exploited.” This claim is attributed to 2010 congressional testimony by Ernie Allen, former president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Allen says he came up with the figure about a decade ago because of a pressing need: “With any social issue if you can’t quantify it, it must not be a problem in the view of policymakers.”; 5/23/24, 10:38 PM

Wrong again soy boy dummy. Seriously, how do you even get dressed each day?

Its from congressional/senate testimonyteatimates from last year.

But your continued embrace of child trafficking, support for groomer policies in schools and passionate support for Joey dementia showering with his adolescent daughter remain duly noted.; 5/23/24, 11:13 PM

Eva Marie said...: So in 1983, facing the threat of terrorists in Beirut, Marines were not allowed to carry loaded weapons. But in 2022 the Biden administration authorized the use of deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago raid.; 5/23/24, 11:17 PM
wendybar said...: The ugly (inside and out) governor of NYC just called half the country clowns because of her TDS hatred of President Trump. What is sad, is that it is the Progressives who ruined NYC and destroyed a once great city, and Trump may be the only one that may be able to restore it, and she doesn't want that. I, for one, haven't been back since covid and I really have no desire to ever go again, and we were regular visitors.

I can't wait for Karma to strike all of these divisive haters down.

Humperdink said...: The different approaches to searching Trump's Mar-a-Lago and Biden's Delaware home by the DOJ is striking. With Trump, it's storm the gates, with Biden it's "mother may I". Garland is as bad as it's gets for 50% of the country. Thankfully he's not a member of the Supremes.

Not only do we need Trump to right the listing ship, we need him to replace one or two of the future SCOTUS retirees.; 5/24/24, 5:32 AM
Humperdink said...: It has been reported Biden wants to sit down during the presidential debates. There is no truth to the rumor that Biden wants to be in a wheel chair with an IV pole and sipper cup.; 5/24/24, 5:41 AM
iowan2 said...: Woke up and checking in to see whats happened overnight.

We are in a Tornado warning for another 15 minutes. The TV weather people are all atwitter playing with their radar tools. Better go batten down.; 5/24/24, 5:42 AM

Howard, could you inform the Black gay WNBA players of your wisdom. They are very despondent that a White Heterosexual woman is Blowing up their TV ratings and Selling out 18,000 seat arenas. The haven't been clued in they are the beneficiaries, and not the victims, of this evil White Woman.; 5/24/24, 6:00 AM

iowan2 said...: Thankfully this storm system started breaking up minutes before it rolled over our property. Some wind and a little rain. More rain still 20 minutes out, but wind and hail is out of the picture at this time.

We do need a break. We have been hit with 2 Derechos and a tornado in 15 years. I was just counting our new trees we have planted, (15) in the 20 years we have been at this house, and realized ALL the old trees are gone due to these 3 weather events.; 5/24/24, 6:18 AM
Howard said...: The real effect of Donald Trump is to make conservative American men whiny bitches who can't stop complaining about poor people, minorities and women all the time. It pairs well with the self inflicted MAGA obesity diabetes low testosterone epidemic. I know it's hard for these concepts to get through your thick skulls as you're also pre-dementia from all the ultra processed junk food sludge circulating in your veins.; 5/24/24, 6:20 AM
Humperdink said...: I enjoy reading Zero Hedge for their wide-ranging topics. However, if the article is about Israel, the Anti-Semantic vitriol displayed in the comments is disgusting. I would have never thought there were that many Jew haters in the US. Getting away from reading the Bible will do that to a culture. That alone will give rise to our demise.

Having said that, Victor Davis Hanson has a great column on the aforementioned site regarding the collapse of four (4) seemingly powerhouse cultures: "the classical city-state of Thebes, ancient Carthage, Byzantine Constantinople and Aztec Tenochtitlán".; 5/24/24, 6:45 AM
imTay said...: "Speaking to reporters outside Capitol Hill about Trump’s upcoming rally in the South Bronx, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the former president is holding a rally in the deep-blue Empire State because he has a “legal version of ankle bracelet around him” and can’t easily campaign in battleground states." - The Federalist.

Ain't America great! "Truth, Justice, and the American way," just like on the Superman show. Which was more crazy? That we believed that that credo was true? Or that we believed that a man could come here from another planet with super strength and the ability to fly? At least there is no proof that an alien *couldn't* come here and do all of that.; 5/24/24, 6:57 AM
Humperdink said...: Apparently there is a move afoot in Massachusetts to tax drivers as they cross the border into the Bay State. It was revealed last month by MASSdot Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt (Read: Nut case). I heard about again yesterday on a WRKO Boston newscast. I hope they succeed.

"Apparently there is a move afoot in Massachusetts to tax drivers as they cross the border into the Bay State. It was revealed last month by MASSdot Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt (Read: Nut case). I heard about again yesterday on a WRKO Boston newscast. I hope they succeed."

From the article:

“How are we going to keep people safe in all the many ways we need to keep them safe and how are we going to do it in an equitable manner? This comes back to funding. We talk about this all the time. We’re broke. I literally said that in a budget meeting today, I’m like, we’re poor,” Tibbits-Nutt said in a video of the speech posted to the Walk Massachusetts website.

So what are we going to do about that? We’ve gotta get aggressive,” Tibbits-Nutt continued. “I’m going to talk about tolling … And when I’m talking tolling, I’m talking at the borders, I’m not talking like within Massachusetts.”

How are the revenues from existing tolls and fuel taxes being spent? How much is going to DEI (IED?) programs and green initiatives?

How about fiscal sanity?; 5/24/24, 8:45 AM

"I would have never thought there were that many Jew haters in the US. Getting away from reading the Bible will do that to a culture."

Reading more Bible will not solve the problem. Jews were murdered 'en masse' across centuries by people who were reading Bible religiously. In reality, present day Jew-hatred is relatively mild (outside the lairs of Hamas and their ilk).; 5/24/24, 9:50 AM

I have no clue what you are talking about. You clearly are way, way too smart for me. Whatever point you are trying to make, I concede it.; 5/24/24, 7:21 PM
