I live in Maryland district 6 which is one of the more conservative districts in the state (it’s a relative term - Joseph Stalin would probably win a statewide election if he ran as a Democrat). The candidate is named Mohammad S. Mozumder and his slogan is “Free Palestine.”; 4/12/24, 6:14 PM
Bill, Republic of Texas said...: S'up bitches! I'm baaack! Long time no see. I'm finally retired and way too much time on my hands. Been stuck in the "way outback" for the past (wow! Almost 4 years!).

Did I miss anything?; 4/12/24, 6:28 PM

Big Mike said...: “Death to America!” “Kill the Jews!”

F**k the gun grabbers. Sooner or later these assholes won’t just be talking about using mass violence.

Malak Afaneh can try to push the absurd notion that Islam is not a violent religion. No one sane is buying it.; 4/12/24, 10:14 PM

"The lamps are going out all over America. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.'

They went out in March,2020. The Commander in Chief said they come back on if we just injected bleach but that didn't work out.; 4/12/24, 11:13 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: The previous post quote; "Please leave our house! You are guests in our house!" resonates with a video post from Carl Benjamin aka Sargon of Akkad, I just finished watching.

See if you can pick up what I’m attempting to put down. Quite Scantly, admittedly very little to no meat on the bone.

The lamps are going out all over America. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.

On 3 August 1914, British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey made his famous quote: "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

He had decided the time had come to face the Cabinet and persuade them to declare war on Germany.

Humperdink said...: Yes Bill, things have improved considerably in your absence. The economy is booming, gasoline is cheap, the feds have invited 10 million well-behaved guests into the country, mortgage rates are lower, EV's ... to save the climate, are selling like hot cakes, Biden has reduced the deficit to zero and Uday Biden remains free. All is well!; 4/13/24, 4:17 AM

Because they vote special rules for us...but NONE for them. Scumbags.

🚨 Congress gives itself a carve out in the reauthorization of FISA 702 warrantless spying on Americans.

The bill requires the FBI to notify and seek consent from Congress before violating the privacy of Congressmen.

This will persuade many members of Congress to vote yes.; 4/13/24, 4:58 AM

Howard said...: Good morning Bill. Everything's going great in the best country in n the planet. I mean, Trump's fanbois are still miserable depressed and praying for civil war, but who cares what a few impotent boomers think, amIright!!!

I have embraced retirement by training like a professional athlete. This allows me to be the best, most active grandfather on the planet. Summers coming and we're going to fill the time with hiking, mountain biking open water swimming wood working, blacksmithing knife making back packing weight lifting reading classic novels.

I advise making your health family and friends your priority during retirement. Being the Pater Familias is the best job in the world. Leave the anxiety and depression to the hard core incels.; 4/13/24, 6:01 AM
Leland said...: Angel Hernandez has been conscripted by MLB to usher in the AI umpires.

All that still couldn't save Astros starting pitching.

I thought the piloting of the auto strike zone system in AAA worked really good and was hoping to see it in MLB this year because Angel Hernandez exists.; 4/13/24, 6:03 AM
Leland said...: EV's ... to save the climate

You were doing so good, but then who could really say that with a straight face? I mean that is some joke.; 4/13/24, 6:05 AM
Mr. O. Possum said...: The legal question on everyone's minds this morning is can the NYT force the closure of competitors to its Wordle and get away with it?

Hasn't wordle (lower case) become so generic like crossword puzzles that anyone can create one using the same distinctive format?; 4/13/24, 6:47 AM
Howard said...: You hate yourself and your life. To justify your depression, you must blame some outside force that imposes misery on you.

Take responsibility for your own mental health and stop drinking toxic thoughts by the fire hose.

BG said...: “Latine” looks too much like latrine. I assume it’s pronounced “lah-tee-nay.” I don’t think it will matter. Our “betters” will use it anyway.; 4/13/24, 7:56 AM
Iman said...: Stop drinking the Moxie® and choking “dat chicken”, Howard. It’s giving you a false sense of bravado… and sanity, for that matter.; 4/13/24, 8:07 AM
Enigma said...: @BG “Latine” looks too much like latrine.

Ugggg. Yeah. "Latinx" was hated by everyone other than the Woke. Latine will either be read with a silent e (Latin) or as a misspelling of the authentic word Latino (my spell checker auto-converted "Latine" to both Latin and Latino as I wrote this reply). Latrine? Heh heh. Humor in the spirit of the edgy early Simpsons and South Park. Eric Cartman says: "I demand that a Latrino cleans my latrine. It's their job because it's their name and destiny!!!" So, traditional Latino will likely come back soon.

Recall that the PC terms for Blacks changed and flip-flopped over and over too. Activists will never learn that you can't push a string more than an inch or two, but they try to push strings for a mile. Negro -> Black -> Afro-American -> lots of hair jokes -> Black -> African-American and then back to Black because it's a short word and it mirrors White.

Overall, "latine" is an obvious retrenchment from Latinx. If the Woke ever get past their naive and arrogant pride they'd just admit they were wrong and...show respect?; 4/13/24, 8:13 AM
Rusty said...: Congratulations, Bill.
Fight the boredom!; 4/13/24, 8:15 AM
Rusty said...: One thing you'll find out, Bill, as you get out and about on the hours you used to spend at work. You will begin to preferr the weekdays to do your exploring and stay in on the weekends.
Far fewer people to deal with during the week.; 4/13/24, 8:17 AM

Bruce Gee said...: Back in our homeschooling days, the weekends were for staying home. It was wonderful fun to take the gang out somewhere on a "field trip" (we gagged at the term): the freedom from crowds, the luxury of time, and the special delight when one of our kids would stand at a store counter buying something, and the woman at the register would narrow her eyes, stare accusingly, and ask, "Aren't you supposed to be in SCHOOL??"; 4/13/24, 8:51 AM
