No wake.
These trees seem to bend away from the water and that wind. In California the palm trees bend toward the ocean because of phototropism, which I assume means there’s more of a chance they’ll have their picture taken that way.
Hamas has now openly announced “field executions” of Palestinians who went to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for food.
They’re publicly murdering their own people for seeking aid.
Number of days until RCOCEAN denounces Hamas for genocide of their own people ... Don't bother guessing because it won't ever happen.
Is the GOP spending bill a “Big Beautiful Bill” or is it a “Disgusting Abomination”? Even MTG is running away from it like those people running away from Mt.Etna.
Hamas is horrible. Skinny is beautiful.
Is Inga still silent on the Colorado terrorist attack?
Just rechecked the thread, and still no condemnation from the resident lunatic leftists DInga, Victoria, Richt/sockpuppet/kakahead, PedoFredo, gafly, or temu lawyer Robert Kook.
When were you ever a deficit hawk, Inga? The bill is very unsatisfactory, no doubt - but I can't fathom what we would've gotten under a Democrat executive and Congress.
It's a very pleasant 80+ here and breezey in the Detroit metro area. Love the summer!
And I have this great magnolia tree in my backyard. It basically forms a dome of branches of leaves over a sitting area. Highly recommend.
The Wyoming Democrat Party passed a resolution at their annual budget meeting ordering the press not to report on their deficit spending.
You read that right: The Democrats passed a motion to order the press not to report the news that they spend more than they take in donations.
Thankfully, the press in Wyoming is controlled by Republican interests who told the Democrats to go f8ck themselves. They printed the annual budget, which overwhelmingly is spent on a single person (salary, benefits, insurance, etc.) They spend almost NOTHING on candidates, but rather spend virtually all of the budget on the employees of the party.

Let me channel her for you:
That was a lone wolf attack, someone’s wife wants to have Elon’s babies and those egg prices were supposed to come down on Day 1. Also, I was a nurse so I know things.
I would never accuse anyone of plagiarism, but the second photo looks suspiciously like the album cover of Linda Ronstadt’s “simple dreams” including “blue bayou.”
"Michelle Obama appeared on the latest episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson's "Sibling Revelry" podcast.
She explained how her daughters, Malia and Sasha, have tried to separate themselves from their famous parents.
The "daughters" know the Obamas are not their biological parents.
Where is Trump? No comment on the Ukraine drone attack on Russian planes? Strange.
"Trump asks Congress to repeal $9 billion from NPR, PBS and global aid"
DOGE was a PR stunt.
“Where is Biden? No comment about the young Americans killed at Abby Gate? Strange.” Inga in August 2021.
Hamas is the best lobbyist Israel could buy, except Iran is buying. Like the guy in Colorado, they must be insane thinking this persuades anyone toward their cause.
Burning at the stake should be left in the 16th century, yet the Colorado terrorist has me thiniing it would be appropriate given his crime
Escaped inmate appears to ask Trump, public for help in video as manhunt continues,
Then I heard speculation about a pardon for Sean Puff Baby Oil Combs, while the trial still underway!
Trump needs to cool the pardon spree. Just wait until close to the end of his time in office, for pete's sake.
Inga, serious question: just before the election you came to the comment section and said the latest polling shows Harris is way ahead and you really made fun of anyone who thought Trump could win. After the election we found out the polls showing Kamala ahead were fake. They were a fiction to take in gullible voters. The Harris campaign and the serious pollsters knew the real polls showed Trump ahead all along. Did you feel like you were lied to?
I don’t know anything Lem. I am just an old man. But please read your last post.
“Hamas is the best lobbyist Israel could buy, except Iran is buying. Like the guy in Colorado, they must be insane thinking this persuades anyone toward their cause.”
My sister and I were discussing this exact thing today and we were both disturbed and amazed that anyone who is upset over the deaths in Gaza would use this type of terrorism/hate crime to further their cause. What sort of person would think that attack/action would help the Gazan people? So many people are so disturbed and confused, it’s so disheartening. Bless and protect the victims of people with such disordered thinking.
This so precisely captures Inga's comments leading up to the election, I think there's a good chance it IS Inga.
Perhaps Elias Rodriguez could explain it to the Inga sisters.
Inag - the big beautiful bill is filled with demofat-like spending.
“Greene revealed she was unaware of a provision in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill act (OBBB) that would prevent states from regulating artificial intelligence systems for a decade. The Georgia representative said she would have voted against the entire bill if she had known about the AI language buried on pages 278-279.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/03/marjorie-taylor-greene-trump-tax-bill
What is the purpose of this provision? Does this not raise any red flags in Trump supporters? Even MTG is trying to back away from it. Wake up from your slumber, things are happening that even Trump supporters may live to regret.
“Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years,” Greene wrote on X. “I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.”
Inag - Care to answer Eva Marie's question at 8:14?
Also - your thoughts on Oct 7th and how so-called ordinary Palestinians celebrated mass murder and mass torture.
“What sort of person would think that attack/action would help the Gazan people?”
They don’t want to help the Gazan people. They want to kill Jews.
Inag - regale us with your expertise on AI... and If states should regulate it. Automatic fear of Trump is built into you - but do you understand why?
“Representative Mark Pocan was more forward: “Read the f**king bill instead of clapping for it like a performing monkey. You should have done your job while it was written. You didn’t. You own that vote.”
The AI provision was added just two nights before the bill’s markup. It would prohibit state and local governments from pursuing “any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems” for 10 years, unless the purpose is to facilitate deployment of such systems.
The language applies broadly to facial recognition systems, generative AI and automated decision-making tools used in hiring, housing and public benefits. Several states have already passed laws creating safeguards around such systems, which could become unenforceable if the bill passes the Senate.”
Trump voters own their votes too, let’s see how things progress, it’s already a chaotic mess and can get even worse…
“They don’t want to help the Gazan people. They want to kill Jews.”
Duh. Hence the amazement at that sort of deranged thinking.
It was the third of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day...
So begins a song that our hostess, and other readers of a certain age, will remember.
"Ode to Billie Joe" was the one hit from a truly wonderful singer Bobbie Gentry, released in 1967.
It's a haunting melody and lyric. It brings back memories, mostly pleasant, of late 60s me.
Happy June 3rd, all!
Another Lone Wolf joins the pack.

Thank you Inga, the people in Gaza do need help. They are in a bind between Hamas and how those actions have played out with respect to israel. I sincerely hope that everyone in the Middle East can build up and come to some peaceful accommodation. It will be 100 years in 2047 and all Americans should hope for peace and the reduction of the
Inflammations of bad feelings between groups of
Kindred humanity. Thanks again. We are much alike.

LOL - get those blue state governors in on that! quick.

Elon Musk Calls Trump Megabill a ‘Disgusting Abomination’ ~ WSJ
Literally laughed out loud
Broken clock something something
Inga, I am tired of how we all talk in anger, I hope we can discuss policy in the future with calm respect.
Trump is a bit of a big spending democrat. You dedicated lefty's should be delighted.
BREAKING: The Florida Board of Governors has rejected Santa Ono for the presidency of University of Florida.
He was absolutely the worst candidate presented to the Board of Governors. Also the only one.
Good grief. The Israelis are starving millions, and want to take their land and drive out the Gazans with a Adolph Hitler like "ethnic cleansing" and all people can talk about is a few nuts in the USA. How many Gazans were killed on the same day as this terrorist committed his act?
I don't support terrorism by anyone. And if you don't you either, you shoud be talking about Israel's terrorism which dwarfs that of some kook in the USA. There'd be no terrorist acts in the USA, if we'd tell Israel to stop with the war crimes.
As someone once said 20 years ago, "They're over here because we're over there".
“Inga, I am tired of how we all talk in anger, I hope we can discuss policy in the future with calm respect.”
Thank you. It’s good we could connect on a human level.
BTW, I wonder if the nazis answered crticism the same way Zionists do. I can just imagine it:
1943 Humanitarian: THe destruction of the warsaw ghetto is evil and must stop.
1943 Nazi: What are you, some kinda German hater?
Thank you so much Inga, the first time I went to Milwaukee was in 82 and I went to the top of the clock and the safe house but I didn’t stay long because I was a poor student. I was a poor miner from out west. Oh well.
I was just waiting for more.
Why did Boulder’s terror attack happen? Democrats created the perfect storm, and here’s how
Re Musk and the insider old guard GOP a-holes who are indistinguishable from corrupt democratics.
"Robin
@xdNiBoR
This should be YOU realizing that [Musk's] true mission was to create an efficient government and reduce massive spending, creating a better future for American taxpayers.
All whilst you idiots cheered on the destruction of private property, firebombed dealerships and hoped for TSLA to crash.
Idiots."
Merkel - The Hillary Clinton on Germany.
I know Rome was not built in a day, but I like you Inga and in a non creepy way I would like to be your friend here.
"of"
Josepbleau - careful... Inag's said some angry deranged stuff to the host, in years past.
All sins forgiven, each to each. Let peace be given. Let’s have a calm discussion.
I agree with Musk and Rand Paul. Trump better wake up. The grifters in the GOP need to be flushed out. uniparty losers.
It's Peachy night at the sunset cafe.
Must re-post- because it's spot on, goblins.

RCOCEAN II has proven to be an unabashed antisemite and a loudspeaker for Hamas propaganda. This point of view requires a virtually complete ignorance of the geopolitics and demographics of the Israeli/Palestinian Arab conflict and the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood founders of Hamas as well as an otherwise inexplicable tolerance for terrorism. It is not worth considering.

I'll just wait for someone else to notice.
“I don't support terrorism by anyone. And if you don't you either, you shoud be talking about Israel's terrorism which dwarfs that of some kook in the USA. There'd be no terrorist acts in the USA, if we'd tell Israel to stop with the war crimes.“
I don’t believe this. If we treated everyone in the world with kindness and light, there would still be people in this world who would want to harm us.
As to the first part of your statement - 100% it means more to me that people are being attacked here in the US than in other parts of the world. Using your logic, we could never be upset about any violence here in the US because there are worse things going on in other parts of the world.
At 6:40 I predicted RCOCEAN at 9:16. Taking my bow and logging off to go to bed like the geezer I am.
At the risk of over posting, if we all were friends we could learn a lot from each other.
"There'd be no terrorist acts in the USA, if we'd tell Israel to stop with the war crimes.“
9/11, to pick one example, was due to Israel?

By the way thanks for your stock tips on Tesla. You made me a lot of money you subliterate fool.

If there is no political will to reform government spending now, it’s never going to happen.

Well, if only there was someone around who had written a book about how to make deals, maybe you could ask them for tips.
Imagine having a president with the mental age of a toddler 🤦♂️
10 years in, I still cannot believe people vote for this dummy.
Elon Musk on Trump's "big beautiful budget bill":
"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore," Musk wrote. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
"I would never accuse anyone of plagiarism, but the second photo looks suspiciously like the album cover of Linda Ronstadt’s “simple dreams”..."
I couldn't find an album cover like that.
I see this sunrise type to be Monet's "Impression Sunrise."
^ The Canadian wildfires add an interesting filter to the images.
Funny that the people, who spent $20 million to figure out how to talk to men, now want us to believe they are fiscally responsible. More hilarious is they think open and honest debate is a detriment to the GOP, while they ignore how they treated Musk for the last 24 months. Those of us who voted for this are happy to see an argument on spending less being trumpeted.
Please, keep up the push for fiscal responsibility!
"Imagine having a president with the mental age of a toddler ..."
Imagine having a president with advanced dementia surrounded by a self-appointed cabal intent on implementing radical policies using his stolen identity. Oh - sorry, that was a recent memory, not imagination.
Some say that Trump has changed the norms of American politics forever. But the truth is, when Democrats return to power, the press will go back to freaking out about the debt and Senate parliamentarian.
I've talked and listened at length to the Israel haters/Zionist haters.
If only Israel would cease to exist- all would be well.
Anti-Israel/Jew haters (who hide behind the word Zionist)
actually believe that the Jews were in on their own destruction in Hitler's Germany.
Moving on in the brainwashing book: "if he took up too much space while sleeping, it was considered imperialist aggression."
Sounds kind of like man spreading, doesn't it?
If that were true, ROCEAN. Why is there humanitarian aid in Gaza? Why go through the trouble and risk of feeding people you just want dead anyway? It's not like there are labor camps in need of filling.
Ackkk!!! The beautiful sky has a bright red pimple! And, someone has picked at it and it’s bleeding into the beautiful water… AAaaarrgh!!!!!!!
Apologies to whichever one of my fave photo artists did that :-)
There'd be no terrorist acts in the USA, if we'd tell Israel to stop with the war crimes.
Total, gaslighting, garbage. To someone like bin Laden (whose figurative name is legion) America is the “Great Satan”—Israel, meanwhile, is merely the “Little Satan.” Their goal is the obliteration of Western civilization, especially including the U.S.
Rcocean is an agent of darkness.
