BTW – yesterday while I was visiting our furry grandson at Handsome’s house, I put all of his little cat toys on top of a table they had in the living room.
Yep, when I arrived today, they were all on the floor.
Biden isn’t “too old”. I hate that argument. Grandma was 84 and her mind was sharp as a tack. There are folks in their 80’s and 90’s still going at sports.
Biden is mentally incompetent.
And corrupt, but that’s a whole ‘nother discussion.
Tedtam, I posted a link “over there” to the recipe for the Chicken Cacciatore that’s going in to Nat tomorrow, if you’re interested… It wasn’t ready in time to pre-freeze last night so I did froze fruit today. Trying to get some “meals in bags” done, instead of just doing ingredients… Thought I had your email address but guess I… Read more »

Rain was falling northeast of my home as I unloaded groceries. We’ll see if I’m getting teased again.
I need to go “do the honor” of playing with Handsome’s cat. After that, I can go see what’s left for sale at Kroger, come home, and start cooking dinner.
Tedtam, I’ve only done a mix with them in it once before, and if I recall correctly, they did seem to take a really LONG time… I’ll let you know how this batch goes.
Just returned from morning errands. The sciatica made grocery shopping quite an experience, but I gutted up and got through it. I bought ingredients for a Sicilian sauce that I was going to prep and FD by itself, but I think that instead I’m going to get some of that sale chicken and stew it all together. The leftovers will… Read more »
I hope all these out of town state senators sitting in judgment of AG Paxton have been briefed about the new crime reporting protocol in Austin.

The Austin Police Department posted a… Read more »
The idiots at ADF should know better than to mess with Elon Musk. Elon could buy and sell the whole damned bunch and leave them to lick their wounds. Right on, Elon.
It is looking a bit bleak for Paxton right now since it appears he doesn’t have all that many supporters in the Senate. I’m wondering how much of this has broken out into various below-the-radar political battles and how much is about actual justice. This is the Texas legislature, after all, a place where knives and swords are never sheathed… Read more »

#17 Bonecrusher, Thank you for the information. I can imagine how disappointed they are.

Jonathan Greenblatt and his nauseating cabal of left wing SJWs have hijacked the Anti-Defamation League in a long line of corrupted, gutted American institutions.
Finally made it to the Rez this weekend with Yellow Hair and White Fang. Weather was gorgeous if a tad bit hot and it was dry. The area around Tahlequah is hilly and forested mostly. The hills are significantly larger than what’s west of Austin. I could easily imagine living somewhere around Lake Tenkiller. Whole trip was fun. Went to… Read more »
I am watching the Impeachment proceedings in the Texas Senate. The first order of business has been for the Senate to vote on each of the Defense Motions (of which there are 20 or so), most of which involve dismissing either all or each of the articles of impeachment. So far, the Defense has repeatedly lost these votes to dismiss.… Read more »

Morning, gang. Some chance of rain again today, I’ll take it!
I always thought that the districts were to be drawn in a geographically contiguous way without regard to race; to do otherwise would be gerrymandering wouldn’t it?

Many home builders around the Houston sphere of influence seem to be sensibly cautious about overbuilding given the creeping uncertainty in the market.

KHOU reporting that Coffee City has suspended their police chief for 30 days.
It’s a start, I suppose.

Quick Drive-By; Did y’all see Biden give the Congressional Medal of Honor to the Vietnam Vet and then just walk away?!?! Where were his handlers???
Biden blasted for walking out before end of Medal of Honor ceremony: ‘Lack of respect’.

My immediate thought while watching this match is that he was a fed plant.
Notice they even used the word deplorable in the story.
Word association anyone?
no doubt in my mind he was a fed plant.

Great column by Steyn.
That whole Neo-Nazi thing is apparently another false flag operation run by the Feds.
A great Mark Steyn column today.

All fixed now.

Now that is clever. Would make great tags for car bumpers.
Little kid who is very specific about identifying barnyard animals.
I suppose I should add a language warning, but it’s a very cute language warning.

#33 Texpat,
I can see him with my eyes shut. 🙂
Presenting the Opening Statement for the House Managers is Rep. Andrew Murr, a Republican.
You might recall that he is one of the Speaker’s Dirty Dozen rinos.
Body double for Biden?

Yup – I can see it/him

So, there will indeed be a Trial.
Prior to adjourning for lunch, the Articles will be read and Paxton will enter his plea on each one. And Witnesses will be sworn in.
As a member of The Tribe, I am perfectly okay with this.
Jonathan Greenblatt and his nauseating cabal of left wing SJWs have hijacked the Anti-Defamation League in a long line of corrupted, gutted American institutions.
The only issue that the Defense “won” was a ruling by the judge (Lt. Gov. Patrick) that Paxton cannot be compelled to testify by the House Managers.

Paxton couldn’t even win a Motion to “disallow any evidence gathered in violation of the law.”
By the way, on these particular votes to Dismiss, the defense only needed a simple majority (16).
