Good morning Squawk. ITS FRIDAY!
-
I read somewhere yesterday that Cankles has to wear an external urine bag strapped under her pantsuit. Today’s Drudge pic shows that she has to have a step stool to get into the SUV. She is one sick [female dog type]

Good morning

Life from a different perspective.
HEADLINE: Little People, Big Woes in Hollywood: Low Pay, Degrading Jobs and a Tragic Death
I learned that the term “midget” is verboten and considered offensive, the preferred term is “little people”.

Why would it matter if hillary is sick or not? The Dems are all in lock step in their desire to socialize this country, and it really doesn’t matter who is standing in the Oval orifice. Apparently about half the people living in America feel the same way. I’ve always thought that we were strong enough as a nation to endure bad leadership from time to time, but zero has made me question that concept. Another few years of Dem leadership should finish us off. And yes, I do suffer from hillary derangement syndrome.

Good morning Hamsters. As David Paul said last night on the 10 pm news, do not panic yet over the unnamed low pressure area out there. It was less organized last night than it was the day before, and the spaghetti bowl of projected movements were even crazier than the day before. They went every which way. Stay tuned, but thus far we’re just getting rain from ordinary weather patterns.
Anyhow we know the National Weather Service is good at making up something when told to, like fabricating temperature rises where there have been decreases and ignoring satellite data in favor of rainbows and figments of fevered imaginations.
Then getting caught, confessing, and not paying any price for their duplicity. -
For those who know me “over yonder,” I just reposted a hilarious beer video.
It’s a must see! Made me LOL, and I really needed it this morning! -
Say Hillary gets in the White House and dies a month in. Would they tell us and how would we prove it?

I’m a card carrying member of the Alt-ernator.

Amongst the many things that made for the worst weekend in my life at Sunday Break 2, I think in 1976, I saw two ‘little people’ going at it under blankets on the ground, right in front of everybody. I was scarred from then on.

It was just rasslin’, Tom.

Hey Brother Phil
I AM VOTING FOR TRUMP
-
WOW and welcome aboard my blogging Brother Squawk:-).
You did it.
What a day! -
First Duke, now Quanny. If Travis Morales comes out for Trump he’ll have the racialist vote sewn up.
-
And to think it took Quannel X to get full bones honest to do it.

It was just rasslin’, Tom.
Somethings cannot be unseen. Was it John Kerry that said ‘seared in my memory’?

You gotta give lXl credit. The man spoke the truth. I just wish MP would have kept his mouth shut.

NANOBOTS – they aint just for THE BORG any more. . .
HEADLINE: Mind-controlled nanobots could release drugs inside your brain
/snip
Triggered release
Because the bots can open and close when required, the technology should minimise unwanted side effects. Tweaking the DNA bots could also ensure they only target specific cells in the body, minimising harmful interactions elsewhere in the body. This could be done by attaching molecules to the surface of the bots that bind to specific receptors on the outside of certain types of cell.
But the technology isn’t ready to be used in humans yet. To work, the setup needs a smaller, more portable method of measuring brain activity – something Arnon says isn’t far away. The team envisions a person wearing a small, hearing aid-like EEG device to monitor brain activity and detect when drugs are needed – for example, when a person with ADHD’s concentration begins to lapse. A smart watch would then create the electromagnetic field required to release a dose of Ritalin.
Such a combination of devices could be used to treat depression and other brain conditions that are difficult to treat. It could also allow people to actively trigger when they want a drug to be released by summoning specific thoughts.
“People could take this in all different directions,” says Arnon. “Imagine if you could deliver the exact amount of alcohol that you wanted to keep you in a happy state but not drunk. Kind of stupid, but this could happen. I think we’ve just scratched the surface.” -
I’m working on whittling down a 4 foot diameter juniper stump to try to get it below ground level, hopefully to be covered up and allowed to degrade under the watchful eye of Mother Nature. It’s nasty work with all the sticky sap, the smell that draws bees, and the texture. It should have been taken out 50 years ago.

Drinking without drinking?
That sounds about as much fun as virtual sex. -
#21 EG: Too bad that it wasn’t harvested for the lumber.

#22 Shannon: It is actually a very interesting article – dem jooze are some real clever folks.

Maybe Q the X has finally seen the light and he too wants to Make America Great Again.

#14 – just WOW

No R other than Trump would’ve had the cajones to call The SheBeast out on her racist slime.
I doubt Jebbuh the B would’ve.
I too am past being sick and tired of all the ‘you’re a racist garbage.’
It’s not a good ol’ oldie and well it’s well past green and moldy.
If I pick my nose with my right hand does that mean I’m a racist? -
I’m trying really hard not to end up quivering and sobbing in a corner.
BCS unleashed her wrath upon me at a new, record level. And none of it is true, and darn little of it makes sense.
Can’t fight crazy, just try to endure. -
#28 TT: Stop taking her calls and emails, block her number from your phone, consider her as dead to you. When you stop making yourself available for her abuse, she may stop and consider her behavior – or not, either way you must protect yourself.

#23 – It had been struck by lightening (apparently quite a while ago) and the main trunk was split from the ground to the roof top, but it then grew back together and continued on up from there. The “cave” created by the base part of the trunk was hollowed out and rotten, but somehow, the thing was still standing – about 60 feet tall in all. The guys had to cut their way to the top and then start cutting from the top down to avoid damage to the roof and to high line wires running alongside the street. This wasn’t an easy (or cheap) job. I think the roots poison the ground too as I haven’t been able to get grass to grow there (maybe now it will get better). Nasty trees for landscaping purposes.

Juniper makes a darned fine cigar humidor. The lumber doesn’t have to be that big.

If I wasn’t legally required to be available, I would. Unfortunately, since I’m legally tied to Mom via the POA, and they’re taking over those responsibilities, I’m bound to be in contact with her for this transition period.
My elder sister said I could resign as her POA, but then I don’t know what would happen to Mom. The Harpies are dragging their feet putting the new responsibilities in place; for some reason, they think the new facility has to be chosen before they can do that. I’ve told them they don’t have to wait, and it might even be helpful to them to go ahead and sign the papers. That way, there’s no delay in executing their decisions regarding Mom. But then, that means I’m rushing things…and I wish I’d known that I was the one who decided that they should take over Mom’s POA responsibilities. I had noooooo idea.
Blocking her at this point is not possible.
But trust me, after this is all over….. -

Tedtam, this post is good advice, please read and apply.
Never mind.

It’s good to have my brother’s support. Just knowing that he understands the situation helps relieve some stress. He’s pissed at their behavior, and he fussed at me (so I won’t send him any more info), but he assured me that the rest of the family understand what is going on.
That helps. -
On checking the forecast this morning, I saw today would be my best bet to mow the back yard until the middle of next week. Due to my diligence last year in transplanting grass runners — outa my front yard flower and shrub beds — into my bare backmost 20’x40′ area — it now takes me about an hour to mow both sections of the back lawn. It was pleasant. I sweated up my hair bun, but it was cool enough and cloudy to make it nice to be exercising outdoors.
I acquired some humongous bug bites while out there. Hope it’s not zika. Oh wait, never mind, I don’t have to worry about a microcephalic baby. Could the zika virus shrink up my head??? 😯 -
I did not recall that you had a brother. Guess I had the impression it was 12 girls.

Over Yonder is carrying lots of memes on the theme of “Diss Hilary and Die.” But here is another way for the Clintons to punish her detractors.

Come to think of it, I think it applies to families, too. I have a juniper family.

8 girls, 4 boys
Three sisters are okay in my book, I have no problems with them.
One brother just stays out of the family mess, good for him. I’m jealous.
One brother (the one I’ve been in contact with), understands but now wants to just not hear about it anymore. I understand totally. Actually, despite his anger this morning with the situation, his stating that “the family understands this isn’t about Mom, it’s about them wanting to hate you” actually gave me some comfort.
Third brother is out of it, but I think he’s somewhat slightly aware and I’m assuming supportive. We don’t talk much, but he’s one of my favorites in the family.
One brother has been missing since about 1982.
So, four out of twelve – 25%. I guess it could be worse. -

Personally, I’ve never had much of a green thumb.

“I can’t keep doing this,” each person in the country reportedly thought while shopping for groceries, replying to emails, sitting through meetings, walking to or from their parking spot, or tucking their children into bed. “Things can’t go on like this. They just can’t.”
“There’s no way,” the entire U.S. population added silently to themselves.
Reports confirmed the thought was identical across all demographics, with every American, regardless of income, age, occupation, political affiliation, religion, or health, coming to the realization that this just keeps going on and on and on and there isn’t any reason to think it will end anytime soon.http://www.theonion.com/article/i-cant-do-anymore-think-320-million-americans-quie-53534

If those iranian dirtbags keep this sort of thing up, there is going to be bloodshed. I have a real hard time believing that a Trump admin would tolerate this crap for a second, further, I don’t think the dirtbags in Iran would attempt it against a T admin more than once.

I alternate between utter frustration and thanking God for BCS. She gives me much exercise in practicing Christian principles, especially the “love your friends, but also love your enemies, for it takes more grace to love the enemy” thing. I had asked for Jesus to help me be more like him some time ago. Strangely enough, BCS may be the answer to that prayer.
I’m going to have to be more careful what I pray for! 😉 -
A John Anderson classic….for Tedtam….

Thankee much, Shannon!

Dang, Shannon’s been virtualed and platoniced today.

#49 – I didn’t know any Republican anywhere, especially in Maine, had the cajones to express himself that way. Go, Gov. Paul, go. Maybe a little more plain speak would help some of our less edumacated voters understand what’s going on with some of these veiled threats and lies. Normally Republicans go to their corner or run for the tall grass and hide, shivering, until the storm blows over when someone calls them a racist.

You gotta work hard to get a hug from them Catholic girls.
Heh heh heh -
Shannon, you should write a book. Texpat can do the foreword.
Or is it the other way around? -
You gotta work hard to get a hug from them Catholic girls.
Heh heh hehI’m not so sure about that,… 😉

My copy of The Perfect Horse just arrived in today’s mail. It is a scholarly work containing extensive footnotes, bibliography, image credits, and index.
“Courage is being scared to death…and saddling up anyway.” John Wayne
An appropriate quotation up front before the Contents pages. 🙂
Shall be submerged in this for a good while I expect. -

The big red headline on top of Drudge
STATE HIDES HILLARY SKED UNTIL AFTER ELECTION
tells me that there were more years in which the people who had meetings with her at OUR State Dept were people whose names can be found as Clinton Foundation donors.
Thanks to the AP for persisting (for years) with their FOIA request until they got that data they have released already. -
I am totally blowing off tonight. Usually I’m trying, or faking at being trying, productive with something. Hubby’s out of town and I have sole control of the remote. And his recliner. heh heh heh
I had a light workout since my back is still a little iffy, though much better. Then I went to the store and got a few things, talked to a friend on the phone, and came home and made a small salad for dinner. Hung upside down for a bit, then took a hot shower. I’m sitting around in my jammies now, watching “Old Fashioned” for about the fifth time and eating a bowl of Greek yogurt, sugar free salted caramel syrup, raspberries, strawberries, and walnuts.
It feels good to do nothing and not think about things for a change. -

/Enter Texpat to tell me Russia ain’t squat.
Russia is still not squat. They’re a hollow vessel. The appearance of Putin’s strength exists in a vacuum of force and fortitude in America’s government. When the bully is in a room full of moral midgets, he looks like a giant. The same goes for Iran. Bullies and thugs always use proxies because they don’t have the real guts to confront their enemies.
