Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I have a modest proposal to honor the 45th President of the USA for his service to our great nation.

From now on instead of saying drumbeat we shall begin saying trumpbeat.

Drumbeat is kind of racist anyways. It should be retired.; 10/20/22, 7:39 PM
gilbar said...: Arizona Sec of State Hobbs came into office 19 days in 6 months amid governor bid, report

From April 1 to Oct. 14, Hobbs swiped her badge to enter the Arizona Capitol Building a total of 19 days, a public records request reviewed by Fox News shows.
She did not enter the building for nearly a month in April and August, Fox also reports.

Dr K? WHAT THE HELL, IS WITH YOUR STATE? Arizonans are Actually thinking she'd make a Governor?; 10/20/22, 7:43 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: How do you go about getting a maximum sentence, in the likely event you are found guilty at trial?

Watch Exhibit 1

The restrain shown by the judge is incredible.; 10/20/22, 7:45 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: A beaver goes about proving he's ready to leave rehab.

Lurker21 said...: I thought Mayor of Kingstown was very good and am looking forward to the next season.

I wanted to show my support for the rapid rail community by watching Bullet Train. I do not much like it. It's flashy and trashy. If Tarantino or Guy Ritchie had made it 20 years ago, it would have been different and exciting. Now it seems tired and derivative.; 10/20/22, 7:51 PM
JRoberts said...: Ann, a few years ago, you mentioned receiving a mailer that listed who in your neighborhood was registered to vote and whether they had voted in the most recent election. Do I remember that correctly?

The last few days here in Atlanta metro, we’ve been seeing “public service announcements” from Future Forward USA that indicates that while Who you vote for is private, whether you voted is public information that everyone has access to. The commercial then “encourages” you to vote in the upcoming election.

The whole thing has a sinister, “Big Brother” feel.; 10/20/22, 7:57 PM

Humperdink said...: Matt Dowd today on MessNBC compared Republicans who focus on inflation to Hitler doing the same in the late 1930's. As Gutfeld said on The Five, lefties have really lowered bar on Hitler comparisons.; 10/20/22, 9:12 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Tears for Fears = no small thing; 10/20/22, 9:24 PM
Mike of Snoqualmie said...: The daily picture for Snoqualmie would be a gray, smoky landscape. The smoke's thick enough that it's noticeable for distances of a 1/2 mile. Rain is forecast for tomorrow, 0.85-in.

It's smoky because our ever-competent governments have adopted a let-it-burn strategy for fight wild fires. If it becomes too much for the on-the-ground firefighters, they'll just withdraw. No using aerial tankers to dump water on it. "Let it burn! That's nature's way!"; 10/20/22, 9:26 PM

you DON'T think they can? They Already shown, that If you protest; you'll go to the gulag; 10/20/22, 9:29 PM
Humperdink said...: Watching excerpts of the Waukesha Christmas parade killer's trial, it would appear to me the judge was a graduate of the Lance Ito School of Law.; 10/20/22, 9:33 PM
narciso said...: Remember when he wanted to run for lt gov of texas good times lol; 10/20/22, 9:48 PM
Michael K said...: Dr K? WHAT THE HELL, IS WITH YOUR STATE? Arizonans are Actually thinking she'd make a Governor?

I see your point. When given the opportunity, I requested NO mail in ballot and reported that we would vote at the polling place. Nonetheless, we got mail in ballots. I don't trust the system so we will vote at the polling place. It will be interesting to see if "we" have already voted.

Hobbs is a Soros creature and losing badly. Kelly has gotten $71 million in California money so he might make it. "The third California Senator." As he has been called.; 10/20/22, 9:50 PM
Joe Smith said...: 'They think they can steal it like last time'

If Rs are even or leading in the polls by 1 or 2 percent, then stealing it will be child's play...; 10/20/22, 10:48 PM
LibertarianLeisure said...: We used to live in Portland, Oregon. Had not been there for four years. It had already been going downhill. Went last month for a wedding. My mouth dropped driving through what was a pretty nice neighborhood, called Hollywood district. Abandoned cars, with the hoods up, graffiti, closed stores, abandoned belongings, blight. Even well meaning souls were fed up who I talked to. Sad. Not so long ago, 2011, such a beautiful city, bohemian.; 10/20/22, 11:20 PM

Howard said...: Frost on the car this morning, the stars are nearly Owens Valley bright here in Center Mass. Orion always catches my eye first. Next I check if the double star in Taurus is still there. When I was small, my big brother taught me that trick of seeing a double was looking just off to the side to take advantage of the higher rod density.; 10/21/22, 4:00 AM

Ann Althouse said...: "If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people" — Leviticus 20:6.; 10/21/22, 5:57 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you... anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this" — Deuteronomy 18:9-14; 10/21/22, 5:59 AM

MadTownGuy said...: A potential Transportation Trifecta of disaster:
A Perfect Storm Of Transportation Disaster?

To wit:
Rail strike 'kick the can' maneuver that may play out...after the midterms, of course.

Diesel supply running low.

Mississippi River running low, barges go slow.

Howard said...: Xtians don't abide the old testament because they think Jebus wished those irrefutable words of G_d in one swell foop. Besides, it's what Jews believe and they are Christ Killers.; 10/21/22, 7:26 AM
Ann Althouse said...: "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail." — Luke 16:16-18; 10/21/22, 8:31 AM

You heard it here first. Slow, and partially loaded.

Stock up.; 10/21/22, 8:35 AM

There's more context than that. Jesus declared all foods clean (Mark 7:19}. He didn't nullify the law; he fulfilled it in the New Covenant (which phrase originated in Jeremiah 31).; 10/21/22, 8:37 AM

DINKY DAU 45 said...: SLOPPY STEVE (the previous president's term of endearment for him) gets 4 months in an orange jumpsuit and awarded $6500.00 for a fine for Contempt of Congress. Prosecution asked for 6 months in the joint and $200,00.00 fine. The sentence will be appealed and could take up to a year for actual bid to occur. Bannon defiantly takes one for the Gipper, martyrdom is an art.
Bullet proof appeal is highly debatable, my odds set at 6.5-1 it fails. To be continued.; 10/21/22, 10:22 AM
Michael K said...: Bullet proof appeal is highly debatable, my odds set at 6.5-1 it fails. To be continued.

You WISH it to fail. I'll bet you were all for Eric Holder's defiance of a similar subpoena but about a real scandal. He never had to face a judge. Of course, he is a Democrat which means never any consequences.; 10/21/22, 1:29 PM
boatbuilder said...: Dinky Dau celebrates the Government crushing dissent through the imprisonment of those whose crime is to speak in opposition--or in this case to question the authority of those who hold the levers of power.

Were you always this way, DD? Did you once think that Government might be wrong, or that those who protest ought to be heard, not crushed?

Look into your soul, man.; 10/21/22, 6:12 PM
