Dixcus বলেছেন...: If you don't think Donald Trump has the strength at 78 to run the United States ... then do go watch this YouTube video.

He and world #1 golfer Bryson DeChambeau attempt to break 50 at Trump's Bedminster golf course.

Trump EAGLES the par 4 12th hole by himself, hitting his drive to 4 feet, then sinking the eagle putt. And is frequently hitting better shots than Bryson DeChambeau. They shot 51.

You will get a good look at the health, vitality and demeanor of Donald Trump as you ride in Cart Force One for 18 holes of unscripted golf with one of the world's best players.

Its all that bleach he drinks. It's a wonderful rejuvenator. Unfortunately it has some side effects- drink too much and you become an insane bigoted rapist.; ২৩/৭/২৪, ৬:৪০ PM

Jim at বলেছেন...: Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he would “absolutely” debate Vice President Kamala Harris, adding that he would be open to debating her more than once.

“I agreed to debate with Joe Biden. But I want to debate her and she’ll be no different because they have the same policies,” Trump told reporters on a press call organized by the Republican National Committee.

“I would be willing to do more than one debate actually,” the former president added.

It seems like it was just yesterday we were assured Trump is scared of Kamala and would refuse to debate her.

Why, it's almost as if the leftists here have no political acumen at all.; ২৩/৭/২৪, ৭:৪৯ PM

Anita বলেছেন...: Jersey Fled, I’m guessing you’ve already watched The Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Have you tried The King’s Affection? It’s a bit of a soap opera, but the costumes are gorgeous and the story pulls you in. The actress who plays Woo has the lead role. So interesting to see her in this drastically different role.; ২৩/৭/২৪, ৮:২০ PM

Bongino is fine, but is maybe half as smart as Rush.; ২৩/৭/২৪, ৮:৪৯ PM
wildswan বলেছেন...: I believe there's completely new race on in the sense of new topics. Kamala represents openly the rise of identity politics and the complete demise of the Dems as the party of the working class. She is the woman from the Turtle Island nation just as the shooter was probably a Turtle Island guy. I knew plenty of disaffected young men in the last ten years I worked, especially while I was at Radio Shack. They weren't for either party though they hated Republicans for openly being bad while they hated the Dems for being hypocrites. They didn't have God, country, family, sports, or hobbies. They had video games, girl friends, car racing, rap and a desire to stick it to the man. And I believe that the new settler colonial ideology has caught up all these young men and their girl friends. It's about the dispossessed and that's who they are. It isn't really about the causes of their dispossession like selling all the manufacturing to China and doing bad trade deals but it appeals to the feelings of the guys being mashed by those causes. JD Vance versus Kamala is a good fit for that struggle. But to fix problem we need to adopt the policies Trump has been pushing for - get energy independence, rebuild manufacuting, stop allowing Europe to disarm and count on us for a military they insult us for having, respect the police. These address"root causes of disaffection.; ২৩/৭/২৪, ৮:৫৩ PM

I would feel so much better if he said something like, "This afternoon I arrived back at the Oval Office after a bout of COVID and, as you know, a difficult decision. I'm mostly recovered but still not looking my best, so I've asked the White House photographers to give me a break before I have to be ready for prime time - but rest assured, I'm on it, with the best team in the world beside me. I'll talk with you tomorrow!"

" How’s that bleach tasting?"

Couldn't say. As soon as The Rapist advised me to drink bleach, I went and asked my internist about it. He said The Rapist was a absolute moron, and I should not listen to any medical advice that he gave.
I followed my internist's advice. Was that wrong?; ২৩/৭/২৪, ১০:৪২ PM

Temujin বলেছেন...: Well...in a break from both sleep and politics, I want to give a shout out to my dog, Maddy. We had to put her to sleep last Friday. She was a little known breed called Lucas Terrier (not to be confused with a 'Sporting' Lucas Terrier).

The. Best. Dog. Ever.

She was 2 months shy of 15 and filled our lives with years of smiles, love, and kept us young, as a strong, independent terrier will do.

We miss her terribly and will continue to do so for some time. RIP my buddy.

And now back to your politics.; ২৪/৭/২৪, ২:৪৫ AM

Howard বলেছেন...: Was in and around Minneapolis over the weekend. Stillwater is a great little town. The burger and fries at Howard's Bar was epic. Caribou Coffee is way better than Charbucks. The Mall of America is like Times Square. It is epic to see in person but I can't imagine going more than once. Before so nice and make Canadians look rude. Even the TSA folks were bright sunny cheerful and helpful.; ২৪/৭/২৪, ৩:৫৮ AM

I really loved all the downtown architecture. Buildings from all different periods scattered eclectically around the downtown is like one giant sculpture Garden.

And best of all the state is full of beautiful strong Norge Valkyries.

This happened to us in early 2020 when Number One Son and family cut us off from their social media, just before COVID took off. Tried calling them tried texting, no response for about a month. Then the lies and false accusations started. Guess their handlers sent out the memo. He even told my sisters that they weren't allowed to share any pictures of his family with us.

MadTownGuy বলেছেন...: Californians told to stop grilling food to help improve air quality after spike in pollution

"A warning has been issued across California urging residents to avoid grilling food after increased air pollution was detected due to wildfires.

South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) issued an air quality alert on Sunday for parts of Riverside County as several wildfires raged on.

[snip]

'Avoid burning wood in your fireplace or firepit and minimize sources of indoor air pollution such as candles, incense, pan-frying, and grilling,' Newsweek reported the alert said.

'If you must be outdoors, keep the time brief and wear a tightly-fitted N-95 or P-100 respirator to help reduce exposure. Limit the use of gasoline powered lawn and garden equipment.'"

More at the link.

I remember, while in training in Madison before we moved there, that Dane County had 'no fireplace days' when the county discouraged the use of wood burning fireplaces due to air quality concerns. We moved there a couple of years later and never saw anything about those regulations at that time or afterward so they just have abandoned that strategy.; ২৪/৭/২৪, ৭:০৫ AM
