Good day for sunrise pictures.

Congratulations to the USA women’s national basketball team, who won the FIBA world championship by beating France by the palindromic score of 97-79, despite the best efforts of the coaching staff to blow it.

Love the way the light hits the bottoms of the higher clouds and the tops of the lower ones in #3. A fine fleeting morning moment.

Two days later and I still don’t see an adequate backlash against Mayor Mamdani and Congress-critter Ocasio-Cortez, who were spotted joking with each other during the roll call of those who died in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Yes, I get that it goes on and on — that’s sort of the point.

Well looksee here.

I think we can get ready to see a superhuman effort on the part of the press to excuse any imperfections that might be accruing on the part of Progressives, and beady-eyed, implacable scrutiny of Republican's every word and gesture, leading up to midterms.

They have a meal ticket riding on the outcome, in a very real sense. Although, thankfully, not quite the sumptuous menu of fare that it used to be.

US limits air defence time slots for tankers sailing through Hormuz ~ FT

'Shift to two specified times daily follows increase in Iranian attacks'

By capping aerial escorts at just twice a day, the U.S. has effectively told the international shipping industry that it cannot protect them. This doesn't feel like winning to me.

RE Mamdani and AOC on 9-11: Any truth to the rumor they were saying, “All these people have been dead for 25 and they voted for us!”

Trump calls on Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries ~
CBS News

Putin provides Iran with drones and intelligence to strike US targets in the Middle East, while Trump tells Ukraine to stop attacking Russian assets helping Putin do the former. Trump is trying to blame everyone but himself.

Watched an entertaining movie on Netflix: “Old Henry”, with Tim Blake Nelson, Stephen Dorff and Trace Adkins. Excellent storyline and well acted.

As I recall, one of the 7-Uppers ended up taking a position at the University of Wisconsin, and he did part of his interview from a table at the Union terrace.

As Gad Saad wrote about Suicidal empathy....the Progressives in the USA are fighting to let this happen. Don't be surprised when this all backfires on us...

A surrogate, believing she was carrying a child for a single father, is actually having a baby for a Chinese billionaire who allegedly has more than 100 kids. CBS News broke the news to her.

Leaked documents obtained by CBS News named the intended father as Xu Bo, a Chinese billionaire and video game executive. Xu Bo has been reported to have over 100 children through U.S. surrogates, granting them American citizenship at birth. A former partner involved in a custody lawsuit against Xu Bo claims he has as many as 300 children. He has disputed these numbers, and has said in a statement that he has custody of 12 children born through surrogacy in the U.S.

CBS News'
@KatrinaSari
interviewed the surrogate – who we are referring to as "Judy" to keep her identity private – who said she was blindsided to learn about Xu Bo. CBS News spoke to 32 surrogates for an investigation into the industry. Head to the linked article for more on this investigation.

Remember, at first you were racist (when Obama was running)

Then you were sexist and misogynistic (when Hillary and Harris were running)

Now you're Islamophobic.

So when you wake up in the morning go to the mirror and take a look at your Islamophobic self and rethink life.


Bernie Sanders
@BernieSanders
In 1960, they stoked fear about John F. Kennedy because he was Catholic.

In 2008, they stoked fear about Barack Obama because he was Black.

In 2026, they are stoking fear about Dr. Abdul El-Sayed because he is Muslim.

Enough! We must end all forms of bigotry in America.

I've been drinking a electrolyte concoction of my own making with help from my AI bro science advisor for about a month now. My sleep has gone from good to excellent teenager type deep sleep. My energy levels, work and workout recovery have gone from very good to excellent. It's got the sodium and potassium levels of the popular brand LMNT, plus a whole lot more.

1-gallon: 1/4-cup table salt, 1T potassium citrate, 1T magnesium citrate, 1T calcium citrate, 1T Vitamin C, 3T citric acid, 1/4-cup metamucil clear fiber, 3/4-cup dextrose, 1/4-cup d-ribose.

Boil a quart of water and dissolve the dry ingredients. Add 1-pint unsweetened cranberry juice and the balance of the gallon water.

Mix one 8-oz cup into 3-cups water in your water bottle and drink throughout the day. Right before I go to work, I have a cup of this diluted electrolyte drink mixed with 15 g of collagen peptides and 500 mg of vitamin c as a connective tissue bullet proofing before all of the heavy lifting I do throughout the day.

Howard said...

Correction, mix a 1/2-cup of the concentrate in the balance of a quart of filtered or spring water.

Giving the impression that Ruben Gallego could ever come close to being president is one of the most hilarious things Tapper ever did. And Gallego running with the thought is just as ridiculous.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said the goal this year is to set the NFL record for scoring in a season. They got off to a good start laying 59 on the Panthers, who have a good defense, in North Carolina.

In the fourth quarter a chant of "The Packers still suck" broke out. Haha.

The Packers on the other hand lost 39-22 to the Vikings on the road. Carson Wentz, who shouldn't even be in the NFL, was the Viking QB most of the day.

Bob Boyd said...

Ha! I just noticed the sub-head change.

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...

It was amazing to watch the Packers turn into the Vikings in the second half.

@Howard--

Your elixir sounds promising but it may have harmful interactions with Dr. Porkenheimer's Boner Juice.

Be careful, everybody.

Interest rate hike Wednesday, most likely quarter point for now to counteract the trump policies.(just wonderful they are) The old man will be drooling and spitting after Warsh sets the table(probably for a couple more) to quell trumps wars and spending and incompetency. trumps math has never worked . The trump COLA bump will also settle in I say around 3.5% this year that a boy donnie, trump inherited Bided 3.0% on inauguration and his crap policies have dragged it up NOT DOWN! MAGAS will tell you inflation was so high when he took over because that's what trump tells em..Pied Piper leading em over the cliff....:(

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...

One thing is very clear, Trump does not understand basic economics. Trump wanting to cut rates in this environment adds monetary policy to the epically long list of things he has no clue about. He's like a reverse renaissance man: awful at absolutely everything.

Leland said...

Just a reminder that in May of 2025, IEE was in these comments saying oil were dropping and would stay there throughout Trump's presidency. Something to consider when evaluating IEE's ability to rate anyone else's understanding of basic economics or any other subject.
