Good morning,, Hamousonians.
It is almost 2am and I’m watching an exciting rerun of last night’s local late news.
One of the lead stories is how some people are freaking out about three more conservatives have been elected to the seven-person Katy School Board.
Conservatives now have a solid majority.
As Sports Illustrated swim suit model and convicted criminal Martha Stewart would say, “It’s a good thing.”

And speaking of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, the cover will be a Tranny. SMDH
Oh and on if y’all want to know my official response to the Durham report, it’s……YAWN….. If you missed it, 4 years an 2 days after the start of the investigation, the conclusion is exactly what everyone knew on day 1, that Hillery’s team started the hoax and the FBI/CIA continued the charade all while ignoring the Clinton Crime Family’s illegal foreign contributions and the Hildabeast’s private server. And sadly we all know that NOTHING WILL EVER COME OF ANY OF IT!!!
But, I’m not going to allow all the BS to steal my joy, I’m gonna’ have a great day.

Yep yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn it was a late night no doubt!
G’mornin Yall!

Now I’m sure that y’all been wonder how Graball over in Henry County got it’s name well I have the answer;
Graball is located on HWY 10 and US. Hwy 431 north west of Abbeville. Most of you will remember when we did the cities, towns, and communities we talked about Graball and how it got its name. It was before the Civil War that Mr. Albert Johnson and Mr. George Danzy owned and operated a county store near the crossroads. Sportsmen began to gather there to drink, gamble, and to fight roosters. They were betting on all these games which conflicted with the law. During this one night, the law appeared to raid the place. Someone in his excitement yelled, “grab all” the stakes and run. They did that. From that day until now it has been called “Graball”. Go back to the part about fighting roosters. It was called “Cock Fighting.” Men raised roosters to fight each other until the death or critical injury of one rooster. Men would bet on which rooster would win. Actually, this sport was once legal and very popular in Henry County. Probate Judge Dan Gordon raised game cocks for fighting. He had a line of Game Cocks in 1880 that were knowns as “Dan Gordon Fighting Cock Line”. Cockfighting was first in the north American colonies at an early date. It became extremely popular along the Atlantic seaboard and in the south. Graball was the most popular Game Cock and gambling spot in the late 1800’s. As of 2021, cock fighting is a crime in every state, it is illegal to be a spectator at fights in 42 states, and to possess or sell birds for fighting in 39 states. Game cocks were specially bred aggressive roosters They are trained to be more aggressive.

When I was in high school I worked at some apartments at Hammerly and Pech Rd doing maintenance and lawn work, the lady who did the cleaning in vacated units, her husband raised and trained fighting dogs. It was quite the business in the hood evidently.

Morning gang. Left TOK early, got a couple of chores to take care of. I’ve seen a couple of cock roaches and suspect I may have brought some in with the rotten fruit from the grocery store. With the indoor worms, I’ve been trying to figure out what might be the best insecticide and still not do damage to the worms. Think I’ll go with sevin dust. BTW, somebody ate the leaves off my pepper plant too, so I’ll dust the outdoor stuff too.
Keeping the worm bins chemical free is important. Using chlorinated tap water for instance. It won’t necessarily damage the worms, but it will kill the bacteria in the bins that the worms feed on, thus reducing their food supply. So all those things have to be considered when looking at chemicals. I suspect the sevin dust would directly kill the worms if they ingest it, but it’s hard to find good data. Other residents and denizens of the worm bin including mites and such are actually beneficial in helping break down food so that the worms can consume it are fine, so no need to treat the bins for pests like that. Gnats and fruit flies can get to be a nuisance if the food is not completely covered up – leave a banana out too long and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Anyway, applying chemicals must be done with caution.
You all have a great day out there. More later as it develops.

I saw this last night, Miller also commits suicide. Or Hold Muh Beer.
First Bud Light, Now Coors Light: Miller Lite’s Controversial ‘Woke’ Ad Campaign Raises Eyebrows.
In the constantly shifting landscape of advertising and marketing, beer brands have struggled to strike the right balance between preserving tradition and adapting to societal change. A recent example that has caught the attention of consumers and critics alike is an ad campaign from Miller Lite, which has reemerged and stirred the pot of online controversy.
The campaign, cleverly named “Bad $#!T to Good $#!T,” was initially launched in March. Its intent was to address and rectify what the beer industry acknowledged as past “objectification” of women in its advertising. However, the campaign’s approach has been met with considerable backlash, with many accusing the brand of abandoning its traditional base for a more “woke” agenda.
Miller Lite, a stalwart of the American beer scene, has long been associated with a straightforward, no-nonsense image. Its ads have typically focused on the beer’s quality and its place as a fixture at gatherings, sporting events, and quiet nights at home. The brand has a legacy steeped in tradition, appealing to a consumer base that values simplicity and authenticity.
This recent campaign marks a stark departure from Miller Lite’s traditional messaging. It suggests that the company will repurpose older advertisements, which it deems “sexist,” into fertilizer for hops. These hops will then be exclusively used by female brewers. Critics argue that this move smacks of virtue signaling and undermines the essence of the brand.
SMDH also you can’t make this S#1T Up,……….SIGH……

Earlier Shannon said; As Sports Illustrated swim suit model and convicted criminal Martha Stewart would say, “It’s a good thing.”
I thought he meant she was on the cover in the distant past but over yonder they say she is on the cover now?! I saw something on Fox that said they were putting a Tranny on the cover? I’m so confused, mainly because everything I see, no matter how bizarre I assume is true. Babylon Bee can’t make up stuff fast enough for the insane Woke Crowd to not beat.
All That said, I should have realized that the Swimsuit edition has probably only been around for 40 years or so and Martha Stewart would have been too old even for the first issue.
-
I believe they have more than one cover model these days.

And what’s wrong with objectifying female brewers, anyway?

it will kill the bacteria in the bins that the worms feed on, thus reducing their food supply.
Hubby always comments that he thinks the rainwater is better for my garden. Since I compost in place, your remark makes a lot of sense.
He thinks the water from the sky is what’s making such a difference in the quality of my produce. The peppers being just about the only thing coming in so far, but they are so glossy and such a deep green!. It could also be that they’re not trying to survive on almost-clay soil this year. But I agree, the sky water is certainly better for all the critters – microbes, fungal, and wormy.

I stayed up to work on some Latin last night, and watched a few videos until I was darn good and tired to make sure I went to sleep. Around 1:00 a.m., my whole body jolted wide awake. I said heck no! I’m not waiting to see if I can go back to sleep for the next four hours. I took one of my muscle relaxants – my back was bothering me anyway – and I am sloooow getting going this morning.
So here I am, cuppa in hand, and I’m going to traipse over to see what Mr. C has to say this morning….
-
BTW – I’ve mentioned “The Hoof GP” channel that I like to watch. That Scotsman is just a charmer, and he loves his life. The video I watched last night surprised me. The guy has a bachelors in history and a minor in art, or some such. He’s an educated fellow, but he found that he loves messing with poop covered hooves, finding abscesses and trimming cow toenails and such. He is happiest when a lame cow walks into his crush and he is able to relieve its pain. He is very, very happy with his lovely wife, two adorable boys, and his spacious home. He must make darn good money, too, because his fancy car (did he say Benz?) needed some work done and he had to drop it off before going to the two farms they’d be working that day.
I think I like to watch him because he’s just so happy. He loves his work, he loves the farmers that he works with, and he loves his home and his toys. Good for him.

HOT WIRED ☙ Tuesday, May 16, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Roundup:
Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! We’re now in the bottom half of May, heading toward summer. It’s beautiful weather here in North Florida this morning. I was traveling last night, so the today’s roundup focuses on two deep-dives: how blue state police defenders are trying to address the crime problem; the Durham report exploded onto the scene yesterday; and a heartwarming video illustrating one of the important differences between New York and Florida.
*WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY*
As far as I can tell, the timeline is that, about a year ago, innovative online car thieves figured out how to hack certain entry-level car Korean models that still use un-chipped mechanical keys, by using an everyday USB cable. The USB plug happens to fit right over a nub sticking out of the torn-open key socket, and lets the crooks start up the cars.
/snip
For some reason, this hooligan-fueled vehicular crime wave has hit deep-blue cities the worst, including the lawsuit’s plaintiffs: Baltimore, St. Louis, and — of course — Seattle. They’ve really had a trying time. Juvenile offenders have been clogging up the streets with illicit drag races and spinning donuts in front of the mayor’s house and stuff.
So the Seattle and Baltimore mayors along with their city councilpersons — one hundred percent wide-left woke democrats — put their brains together, filling several teaspoons, and tried to calculate the very best way to respond to this new crime wave.
Nope, it’s not going after the criminals. Go after the car makers. You. Cannot. Make. This. S**t. Up.
Mr. C. points out a point, illustrated by several headlines: Defunding police results in an increase in crime. Yes, 2+2 DOES equal 4. Idjits.

I’ll skip most of Durham report study, as most Couch Denizens are well aware of it already.
Disappointingly, Durham did not issue any new criminal charges. It’s possible Durham might have been a smidge discouraged after the first three individuals Durham charged were found ‘not guilty’ by DC juries.
The report is only beginning to take off. Republican House investigators are already on it: [insert tweet from Jim Jordan that the R’s are calling Durham to testify next week]
And the FBI has issued a statement that they’ve resolved all of those pesky Durham reported problems already, no need to take a closer look at us, just move along…
Panties on the left are being slightly wadded, having to admit that Trump did not actually use Russia to steal an election. But who’s going after Hillary and the DNC for promoting that theory out of the gate? Holding breath in 3….2….1…aww, forget it. I don’t feel like passing out this morning.
Representative Matt Gaetz hilariously called the FBI a “disinformation agency,” and vowed the report is “an insufficient consequence:” He is calling for the defunding of such agencies that have been turned into weapons.
https://twitter.com/RepMattGaetz/status/1658294384981340160
On Fox yesterday, the Federalist’s CEO Sean Davis even called the FBI “a domestic terror organization” that “perpetrated a hoax directed at conning and gaslighting the American people.” He explained, “I have a hard time looking at this [Durham report] and coming to any other conclusion than that the FBI has to be defunded, because this wasn’t one or two rogue agents. This happened from the very top.”…
So far, with most of us not yet having read the dense, 300+ page government document, the ultimate significance of the report’s conclusions aren’t immediately visible.
But one thing is certain: a politically-weaponized FBI helped Hilary Clinton interfere with the 2020 election, directly or indirectly.
/snip
Many frustrated and repeatedly-disappointed folks will predict “nothing is going to happen,” which is what the left and its corporate media would certainly prefer. But it’s way too soon to conclude anything like that. The significance of the Durham report is that it provides an official government determination of whatever everyone has known for years, but couldn’t “prove.”
The key is, the “proving” part is now over. The left can no longer rely on the old “no evidence” gag. My guess is the report is going to grow a LOT of legs, like a political centipede, and it will run in all kinds of surprising directions. For just one example, we can start untangling the web of democrat lies over the last four years, where they’ve claimed that any questions about the legitimacy of the election were “conspiracy theories” or “disinformation.”
It turns out THEY were the conspiracy theorists and the disinformers.

On Sunday morning, I posted the following. All but maybe 10% of the 299 commenters at the DailyMail thought it was FBI fraud operation. One commenter even pointed out there all these “white supremacists”, most physically fit, the same age and not a single one had a visible tattoo.
This morning, I stole this image from JJ Sexton at Ace because I thought it was funny and perfect.
I’m calling complete, unmitigated bullsh*t on this clown show. My money says at least half, if not all, of these morons are FBI/Homeland Security agents playing “terrorists.” They look silly and obvious in their matching, preppy blue shirts and khaki pants. It’s ludicrous and obviously timed to coincide with Biden’s speech down the road at black Howard University’s commencement in which Joe declared the biggest threat to America is “white supremacy.”

I think it’s a WaPo reporter involved here, but Ted Cruz gives a master class in how to make the media look like the fools and idiots they are.

Morning, chickadees. I was thinking I might mow the front yard today, but too much chance of rain before I could finish. But might be able to do the back grass… Actually, I think all of the lawn is still too muddy to be working on it today.

Mr. C ends with this happy ending of a home invasion in Florida.
https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1657981660816887813
No one was hurt, and the homeowner won’t be charged. The best part was the LEO saying this was perfectly okay, the defending of one’s home with an AK-47.
If he hadn’t assaulted the thugs, the thugs had a gun with which to assault him.

If there are any bright spots in Europe, they are Poland, Finland and Hungary. Unfortunately, they all belong to the EU. If they were truly independent nations, all three would be booming even more than they are today under the absurd constraints of the Brussels dictatorship.
The Olkiluoto 3 (OL3) nuclear plant completed the transition from testing to regular output last month to become Finland’s first new nuclear plant in more than four decades. It is expected to produce up to 15 percent of the country’s power demand.
And while the plant’s production is still in its early days, its launch has had a considerable effect on Finland’s energy prices, lowering the electricity spot price in the country from €245.98 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in December to €60.55 per MWh in April, a reduction of more than 75 percent, according to physical electricity exchange, Nord Pool.
Energy prices had risen sharply in the Scandinavian country after the Finnish government banned electricity imports from neighboring Russia last year due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The utilization of nuclear power will be welcomed by Finnish consumers, particularly given the fact that Finland has the highest per-capita electricity consumption in the European Union.
They dropped the Finnish wholesale electricity price by a whopping 60% in four months.
Last month, Poland secured $4 billion in U.S. funding to help build 20 small modular reactors across the country by 2029, while Hungary is focused on expanding its Paks nuclear power plant.
The Finnish example is a testament to how nuclear can play a part in solving the current energy crisis, with consumers still paying sky-high fees for energy in many European countries.
Germany, however, went the opposite way and controversially closed down its three remaining nuclear power plants last month. High inflation, high energy costs, and a sharp decline in industrial output have led to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicting a recession is in the cards for Europe’s powerhouse.
How much has Texas spent on stupid, undependable wind and solar ? If the US government is loaning out money to foreigners to build small nuclear plants, why isn’t the state of Texas getting those loans and building the same thing instead of wasting billions on enviro-fantasies ?

BREAKING: A Biden administration whistleblower informed Congress today that the “entire investigative team” working on the Hunter Biden case at the IRS was removed from the case today, and that that their removal was specifically requested by DOJ.
Color me shocked. /not

I have a deep suspicion the White House and our State Department are involved in this. After all, Joe loves blowing up pipelines if he can’t stop them in a court somewhere. (emphasis in the original)
Hungarian media is abuzz with angry reactions after a leak obtained by The Washington Post revealed that Ukraine was planning to blow up the Druzhba oil pipeline that transports crude from Russia to Hungary.
According to the leaked documents, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed at a February meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Yuliya Svyrydenko that Ukraine should blow up the pipeline in order to incapacitate the part of the Hungarian energy infrastructure reliant on Russian oil.
Government spokesman Zoltán Kovács reacted in a tweet with a short question: “How is it possible that Ukraine is plotting against a NATO country??”
The American and European Left hate Hungary and its president Viktor Orban. He is very conservative, bans illegal immigrants, transgender ideology and fights communist dogma at every turn. It wouldn’t surprise me to find Biden and Blinken encouraging this.
While the Russian invasion of Ukraine severely reduced Russian crude imports to the European Union, according to Eurostat data, last year Hungary imported 4.8 million tons of crude from Russia, 1.4 million more* than in 2021.
The leak was part of a trove of military intelligence documents posted on a Discord server by 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, who served as an airman at a National Guard unit in Massachusetts. Teixeira was taken into custody over the leaks and faces substantial prison time if convicted.
*If Biden had lost the election due to the truth being told about Hunter’s laptop and Trump was still president, that 1.4 million tons of oil could have been supplied by Texas instead of Russia.
-
Biden admin going after whistleblowers at IRS who were on the trail of the crack Hunter. The “request” to remove the agents was made from the DOJ. The grandmother, Merrick Garland, needs to be prosecuted for obstruction of justice. This is beyond blatant, they want us to know they are violating the law and that we can’t do anything about it.
They say you want a revolution?
This is how you get one.

Saw this comment on one of the Twitter feeds posted earlier:

Yesterday was the day I saw the very least of Billy Cat since he first turned up in my backyard, on or about April 9, 2023. Although I called his name numerous times yesterday: for breakfast — never showed; for lunch — never showed; and for supper — never showed… Then finally near midnight, as I was giving up and shutting down, I called his name and he came through a loose fence board. So he did get one bowl of chow.
Today, I woke up to the noise of the eastward neighbor’s front and back lawns being mowed, and Billy has been in my yard ever since I got up and opened the blinds. I’ve waved and used his name, and wonder if that plus the chow will encourage him to relocate. I know he doesn’t like the raccoons, but if he would drift into feeling civilized, I could probably find him a home.
-
As you well know, tom cats like to travel from time to time. Mine was hanging around during the freeze of ’21 and disappeared until last fall. He would even let me touch him sometimes while he was feeding. Haven’t seen him in two days now. He may be off on special assignment, or he might just feel the need for a change of scenery from time to time.
-
I thought I might sneak out this afternoon and put together another tub, but it’s getting awful gloomy out there.
Maybe tomorrow.

Hamous has been vindicated for his prediction Durham’s report would end up either blowing in the wind or never be issued. It is now one year, four months and eleven days since he passed away and Durham has finally released something. Big F Deal. It’s too late to have any effect and he made no criminal referrals. What a loser and Durham was supposed to be the impeccable badass. The entire US government is populated with useless pantywaist spineless creeps.
Take a bow, Mark.

Tyler woke me up from my nap and was insisting on food, so I fed my 6 and Billy, who was still on the edge of the gazebo where he’s been all day. Timing was good, since everyone ate before the ear-busting thunder bolts fired up. Right now, I have no cats in view anywhere.

Glad to see you’ve finally seen the light and obtained membership in Dr phil Good’s world.:)
Although the republican’ts have cornered the market on the pantywaist, spineless creeps part.
As far as Bigfoot Durham’s report goes it’s just……wait for it uncklo…the latest episode of the Deep State produced, directed and written by Kabuki Theatre Hour.

I’ll just remind you that if anyone is waiting for the government to offer up a solution to whatever problem or issue, then you are doomed from the beginning. All the whining and moaning about things that are going on with government and hoping for change – well, hope is not a plan. The only way problems get solved is by someone going out there and solving them. And many if not most problems are not really problems at all, and the solution mostly involves a good leaving alone.
Here are some recommendations – get out of debt, get liquid and diversified, get out of commercial real estate related stuff, stash a little bit of precious metals where you can get to it, and keep your powder dry. Things are going to get bad by the end of the year, and over leveraged people will be liquidating for pennies on the dollar.

I believe everyone should minimize their debt and be liquid in this environment. I also believe everyone should be informed about what their government officials are doing, how they are doing it and to whom they are doing it. If you think that is whining and moaning, well, it’s just too bad, pal.
You are free here to post comments to your heart’s content about buckets of worms which I choose not to read or criticize. That is your choice and mine. I don’t whine and moan about the things people write on this site I believe to be a waste of time. It’s a place for open discussion.
I write about politics, culture and business. I write critically about all three subjects and if you want to characterize that as whining and moaning, well, that is your prerogative, but no one is forcing you read what I write so do feel unrestrained to ignore it. It won’t hurt my feelings a bit.

I guess my constant yammering about my cats is AOK compared to worm farming???

Heh.

Wow, someone is a little touchy here today. My comment relating to whining and moan is not directed at you or anyone else directly but more of a general comment about the problems being presented versus the solutions being offered. I know that for whatever reason you and your brother have taken offense at my commentary often, and frankly if I am such a distraction to your efforts to upscale this blog, then I’ve had enough. I do not believe that it is my posts that are killing your blog. So adios and best wishes to all.

Gloomy and raining here, fortunately no downpour and just steady rain that’s been falling here since about 5. The ground is saturated, but it would be nice to know how deep the saturation is since we had a long dry spell in winter and early spring. Grass and plants are green so they are getting what they need.
I keep trying to go to the nursery for plants, and the weather insists to derail that so far.

I actually got a lot scrateched off of my to-do list, so I won’t feel guilty about my Latin studies.
Pronouns are kicking my butt. I’ve had the head woozies, too. I think it’s low blood pressure hitting me today. I had a bad wake-up, too, which sometimes bleeds over into my day.

The bee guy hasn’t come by since late last week. I’m guessing he’s waiting for the weather to better up before tries to encourage the bees to move. And we’re expecting quite a bit of rain this week, so it may be a while.

Politicians are quite wormy aren’t they?
Both of them live and are quite at home in the dirt, mud and slime.as far as Superman goes I’d be happy if the republican’ts could reach Deputy Dawg’s courage level.

Since politicians and worms are a lot alike I believe El Gordo is/was conducting secret research on the debauchery, decadence and downright scumbaggery universally inherit in the mind of the corrupt and psychotic politicians of our day via his worm farm.

Talk about touchy.

FWIW; I generally enjoy most of what is posted here and it’s interesting to see what folks are doing. I generally like most of the political stuff even though most I’ve already seen but often I see things I didn’t know about. And if something has little interest to me I just scroll on past oh and that’s usually in green letters. >>>>>>>SCRAAAMMM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 😉

I’m here late in the evening again, and just having read every post above mine I see that some Hamsters must have had a bad day or two and are a bit cranky today. Everybody gets cranky over something that derails an otherwise good day, and it’s much better to dodge getting ulcers by letting off some steam.
Our gang is quite a family, and we hang around Hambone because it is a very good place to confer and express opinions freely in enjoyment of this wonderful gift he left us. My dear Mom used to say that a family is there to multiply happiness and to divide sorrows amongst its members. Good advice, Mom. 🙂
Good Night All.
