Yes, like the Kennedy assassination, I remember well where I was that morning, B49 @ the Rocket Ranch and I saw the second plane hit the tower in real time. Some years later I found out that someone I graduated HS with was killed on that day Lillian De La Cruz. I didn’t know her well but she was an Army brat from NY that was born in Puerto Rico. A friendly sweet girl and I guess after graduation she moved back home and was working the one of the towers. RIP.

Karma can be a vicious mistress;
Garth Brooks Booed Off Stage at 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree.
When Garth Brooks took the stage at the 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree in Hambriston, the famous farm of the Barron Cattle Empire, he didn’t expect to leave in shame under two minutes later.
“For 22 years, Garth Brooks has been the headliner of this event,” said a sad Toby Keith after Brooks was booed offstage, “but we really can’t keep pretending he’s not playing for the other side.”
Toby Keith is correct, patriots. Garth Brooks left the real country scene the day he decided to play a set in Central Park. He thought he would attract his fans from the surrounding rural areas, but instead, he learned liberals just love him.
Unfortunately, he’s spent two decades loving them back. His comments about his own fans being “a$$holes” has basically tanked his career and ended any hopes he had of running a successful bar in Nashville.
“We’re not really looking forward to his opening, “said Nashville Mayor Art Tubolls, “we expect there to be a lot of chaos, with leftists swarming the area to flash their fake breasts in front of children.”
Mayor Tubolls doesn’t want his city to be another San Fransisco, where drug addicts poop on veterans regularly before the city Narcans them and gives them free room and board.
No, patriots, there’s nothing humane about that whole situation, but that’s what 148 years of Democrat control gets you. God Bless America.

What a horrible, horrible day. I remember every moment from the first news.

My brother retired from the Houston Fire Department, his last shift was Saturday. He hired in in 1982 when Whitmire opened up hiring again after ten years I believe.
Bunch of friends and family going down to Galveston for the week tomorrow to celebrate with him, I think we have three beach houses. Not big on beaches or Galveston but looking forward to Gaido’s, been many years.

I was eating my breakfast this morning in the exact same spot I was when I watched the 2nd plane hit the tower.
May ELOHIM comfort those who were lost and punish those responsible.

I told this before, my brother worked with me at the oilfield equipment company during the boom years, unbelievable hours normal people couldn’t imagine working 2-3 days straight at times, always seven days a week, 18-20 hour days. Brother got laid off, went into the Marines, boot camp. Then got himself into HFD where hazing was still a thing and the vets were thirsty for rookies after ten years of non to play with. I still remember him being so broke down saying, “These people have no idea what I’ve been through…”
It worked out, he’s been captain of a couple different fire houses many years. His youngest is now a rookie in the department.

Microsoft viva just opened a new browser window in the E and further it hijacked my chrome portal to tell me all about it’s wonderful features. In my email it gave me the option to unsubscribe – the only thing it let me do was turn some $#!t off.
Bill Gates should drink poison to reduce the surplus population.

Brother has worked a side job for year’s driving a truck for McCoy’s Lumber, he’s been fortunate they work around his fire department schedule. Pretty good gig, get to work two full time jobs essentially. He’s going to continue to work there on limited schedule (no weekends). Pretty good deal.

It seems that Argentina is throwing off the shackles of leftism. Please ELOHIM, let that happen here as well.

I was working at Hubby’s shop when I heard about the first plane hit on the radio. I went home to watch the news and saw the towers fall. I still remember the shock I felt and very audible gasp I gave. Broke down crying as I realized how many first responders were still in the towers.
And I remember my rage and disgust later as I saw images of Middle Easterners dancing in the streets.
What kind of people celebrate that level of evil?
-
I also remember hearing on the radio not long before the attack on the towers that one of the radio hosts, I believe it was Mike Richards, talking about how airplanes were basically missiles. They had full fuel tanks and they were in the vicinity of these large buildings. I can’t remember how long it was before the attack that I heard that, but I do remember that on the day that the towers fell I was recalling that very conversation that he had on the radio.

We were living with Squawk’s parents and had just signed the contract to have our home built that Sunday… I was working 12 hour shifts from 10-10 and was sipping coffee and trying to get the TV onto antenna instead of dish after watching a Quilting program… and could hear the announcer say something about a plane flying into the trade center – finally got the TV sorted out and went to wake Squawk and tell him – just as the second plane hit… He beat me back to the living room. That was one of the strangest 12 hour shifts I ever worked – driving in from Conroe to North Houston and no planes crossing over I-45 was super weird. And I had a Kermit the Frog green partner that day. Yep – I remember… just as I remember Yamel Marino – a female paramedic for a private ambulance company (not the one for which I worked) who was staged in an ambulance under the second tower in case they pulled out patients from the first collapse – who was killed when the second tower collapsed on her ambulance. I don’t believe that I will ever forget that day.
Tedtam – I think it was John Matthews… -
I have finished watering and powdering my garden. Ants have decided that my bean plants are prime gathering space. I’m not sure what they’re doing; it’s possible that they are aphid farming, but they seem to be loving the bean flowers. They’ll have to maneuver through a mine field of Sevin dust now. Suck it, bugs.
I found another “snuck-by-me” bean this morning, so I now have pods going to seed and a coupla others that I can pick tomorrow. More flowers. And my tomatoes are waking up – several small ‘maters on the vine and flowers. I haven’t seen them put out flowers in months.
If y’all missed the Saturday C&C, you really missed something. I now have coffee in hand and going to meander over to see what’s new with the delightful snark this morning…

Just got Nat loaded up with noodles… And Jon M was the talk show person who was on when I was driving to HealthSouth Woodlands, which was my “duty station” where I started and ended my shifts, at that time. And his was the voice I heard announce that the second tower had just fallen, just before I pulled in to the parking lot.

I just got through watering my wife’s flowers and such. Took dang near an hour, plants everywhere, I hope I got them all. I found a fern and a cryptocoryne over behind the pump house, not a place I usually find any plants.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE ☙ Monday, September 11, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! Time to kick off another great week. Your roundup this morning includes: Burbank Mayor’s ritualistic humiliation and pink bottom; Supreme Court takes up Trump 14th Amendment case; lots of celebrity sickness and SADS this month; Portland’s controlled demolition continuing nicely; and Governor Younkin finally pardons heroic dad who took on school board over daughter’s rape.
Before we start, let’s observe a moment of silence for all the murdered victims of the Trade Center’s destruction on September 11th, 2001. And those killed in Building 7, too.

News:
Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic, won the U.S. Men’s Open Championship yesterday in a tense and grueling match against Russian Danill Medvedev, which at various times saw the players laying exhausted on the court. Djokovic was the oldest player at the tournament, and late last week won an exciting game against a 19-year-old rookie American with an amazing144-mph serve.
I’m not a tennis fan, but that would’ve been something to watch. It sounds like it was quite exciting.
Djokovic was the only unjabbed tournament player. He’d missed out on many tournaments because he valued his bodily autonomy, and so was banned from countries and even from flying. Even non-tennis folks like myself knew who he was. DeSantis tried to help him use a loophole in the law, because the ban didn’t apply to boats.
But Djokovic declined. It wasn’t the law, it was the principle. His refusal to comply was a big middle finger to TPTB. He passed up a lot of money to live up to his convictions. I hope the dude has kids and they are like him.

More California madness:
Via Libs of TikTok. This weekend a video surfaced of Konstantine Anthony, the Mayor of Burbank, California, bent over at what liberals refer to as a “campaign event.” Anthony was being publicly spanked like a bad little boy by a hulking, muscular drag queen wielding a BDSM-style leather strap. The “Drag Bingo fundraising event” was emceed by a transvestite wearing stiletto heels and giant hoop earrings, and looked quite a bit different from the kinds of campaign events conservatives are normally used to.
It’s probably better to imagine it as some kind of festival.
And just WHO thought this was a good thing?
In the clip, Mayor Anthony seems to be enjoying the spanking a lot more than the drag queen, who honestly looked a little uncomfortable, probably realizing that he would soon be starring in a viral internet clip. The performer actually had to give Mayor Anthony a pat on his little bottom to let him know spanking time was over. The Mayor walked away grinning in a very disquieting manner strongly suggesting he was a man who’d just had some kind of personal breakthrough or self-discovery, or something like that.
But this being California, his constituents prolly think this him being inclusive or some such balderdash.
Anyway, the Mayor is campaigning for a promotion from running Burbank to running all of LA County on its Board of Supervisors, and is well on his way.
My brain gears are just grinding away, trying to process this scenario. There’s a lot of screeching and smoke inside the cranium. I’d never make it in California. My head would ‘splode.

Speaking of madness, the Supreme Court is taking a case about kicking The Donald off the ballot for his participation in “the
insurrectionsetup”.Newsweek reported that the Supreme Court sent John Castro v. Donald Trump to the justices for the upcoming term, which starts on October 2nd. The article said the case is expected to be decided on or before October 9th.
Liberals have been excited as caffeinated puppies about the case, since a conviction for insurrection is not mentioned in the Constitution’s plain language. The case was brought by Republican tax preparer John Castro, 40, who recently filed to run for president and is asking the Court to decide whether he may challenge Trump’s inclusion on the presidential ballot.
Castro is a multiple time loser in Republican politics.
John Castro is totally not a democrat mole fake candidate. How dare you.
The Supreme Court has several options:
1. Rule Trump ineligible. Not likely, according to Mr. C.
2. Take the case and provide guidance, but not rule
3. Reject the case for procedure, like lack of standing
4. Send the case back for litigation in the courts, where Trump must be found guilty of insurrection. In Texas.

More depressing news from the Suddenly & Unexpectedly Department:
74 year old Bruce Springsteen (geez, is really that old? that means that I…oh, never mind) is postponing performances for the rest of the month because he’s being treated for “peptic ulcer disease”. I’ve never heard of this being a jab event, but either way, here’s hoping he gets his recovery.
Guns N’Roses had to back out of a concert rather abruptly, due to an ‘unspecified illness,’ possibly flu-like symptoms for singer Axl Rose. He’s 61. Dang I’m feeling older all the time…
The Whooopster on The Spew (I hate that show) is out for her 3rd WLR infection, despite being fully jabbed and full to the top with spike proteins.
Supermodel Lina Evangelista revealed that she has breast turbo-cancer. She received the diagnosis several years ago, opted for a bilateral mastectomy, and thought she was good – until July 2022. It popped back up and she is now undergoing treatment. Fortunately, she has a good prognosis, but we still pray for her full and complete recovery.
Stephen Gould, an opera tenor, has been diagnosed with incurable bile-duct cancer. “Cholangio-Carcinoma” is a rare type of cancer affecting the bile ducts, which are tubes that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. Specifically, “Cholangio-Carcinoma” refers to a malignancy that arises in the epithelial cells lining the bile ducts.
Newsbreak ran a story last week referencing reality star Kimmi Scott, 34, in an article about a new study blaming young cancer victims for the new youthful epidemic in turbo cancers.
I saw a clip of TV heads talking about the rise in cancers involving the younger homo sapiens. It was diet. It was lockdown. It was environmental. It was….it was…it was… Everyone on that stage was doing the tango around the huge elephant in the room. Amazing to watch, harder to stomach.
We pray all these celebrities enjoy full recoveries and are back to entertaining us soon.
Indeed.

Nike is closing down a huge store in Portland. I read the original article, and it specifically said the crime and shoplifting had reached proportions that overcame Nike’s original dedication to the store and the community. Nike tried, they really did, to keep those jobs available and be part of the community.
Liberals are why we can’t have nice things. Or at least in Portland they can’t.

A bit of good news:
Yesterday, the Virginia Governor’s office published a press release headlined, “Governor Glenn Youngkin Grants Pardon to Loudoun County Dad Whose Daughter was Sexually Assaulted in Public School.”
Scott Smith is the Loudoun County dad who was wrongfully prosecuted and convicted for standing up for his daughter at a 2021 Loudoun County School Board meeting, after she was raped by a “gender-fluid student” in the school’s girl’s bathroom. I won’t list what her attacker was eventually charged with, it’s too graphic. But it was bad.
The school board covered up the assault, transferred the rapist to another school, where he assaulted another girl, and added insult to injury by having Scott promptly arrested when he showed up at a School Board meeting to complain.
The blowback from the incident led to a red wave in blue Virginia, Republican Governor Younkin’s election, and the removal of most of the School Board’s criminal members. They haven’t been charged with anything. Yet. On the other hand, Scott Smith has now been pardoned. So.
It is unbelievable that this father was convicted basically of being too vocal about what happened to his little girl. But then, we are talking about….ah, y’all know who we’re talking about.
Up is down, right is wrong, etc., etc.

I’ve been a Texan since 1952 and never heard of the Annual Texas Country Jamboree. If there were a Barron Cattle Empire they wouldn’t call their place a “farm” and, after all, the title of the site is “The Dunning-Kruger Times”.
On Sunday, Greg Abbott retweeted a story with the headline “Garth Brooks Booed Off Stage at 123rd Annual Texas Country Jamboree,” published by an outlet called the Dunning-Kruger Times. “Flagg Eagleton – Patriot”—the story’s author—wrote that Brooks made it only two minutes into his twenty-second annual headlining set at the storied event in Hambriston, Texas, before the boos started from fans. The story quotes conservative country star Toby Keith as saying that Brooks is “playing for the other side.” Abbott’s commentary added the trenchant analysis, “Go woke. Go broke. Garth called his conservative fans ‘assholes.’ Good job Texas.”
Sharp-eyed readers—including one Central Texas Democrat, Congressman Greg Casar—noted that there is no Texas city named Hambriston; that there has not been a Texas Country Jamboree happening in such a city for 123 years; that “Dunning-Kruger” refers to a psychological phenomenon in which nonexperts come to believe they are experts, overestimating their knowledge; and that the byline “Flagg Eagleton – Patriot” ought to have been a dead giveaway that the story was, in fact, satire in the mold of the Onion.
The site is written by a nasty, cynical leftist who wants to prank people on the Right.
-
Yeah, the place didn’t explicitly say it was a satire site, but it certainly is.

I know Shannon encouraged everyone to read an article on the 5th Circuit ruling on the Missouri/Louisiana lawsuit filed against the US government over massive censorship of citizens on the internet. Tracy Beanz at UncoverDC has published a detailed summary of the entire legal drama. She is very good at what she does.
The case, Missouri v. Biden, was filed last May by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with private plaintiffs, against numerous agencies in the federal government. Plaintiffs alleged that the government (including the FBI, White House, Surgeon General, and CISA, among many others) was forcing social media companies to censor speech by threat.
The Plaintiffs wanted a temporary injunction to STOP this activity as their case moved to trial. Judge Terry Doughty granted them expedited limited discovery and deposition to get the information they needed to prove a temporary injunction was warranted.
Of course, the government fought this the entire way but ultimately was widely unsuccessful. The information the plaintiffs received was absolutely mind-blowing. For certain, the government was coercing social media companies to censor—the discovery proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
and,
I am probably 70/30 on how this panned out, but the details are important. The government asked that if the court should rule against them, they put a stay (pause) on the order for 10 days so that they could appeal it to the SCOTUS. The 5th did that, so the ruling they just laid down is PAUSED for 10 more days while the government attempts to write to the SCOTUS, convincing them that they SHOULD be able to force social media companies to censor you. Chew on that for a minute.
There’s a lot procedural information here, but the central legal questions constitute what Tracy calls the “most important civil rights case of a generation” and I have to say that is an understatement.
I also want to point out the same three judge panel who issued the ruling against the US government on Ivermectin use for Covid also issued this ruling on censorship by the federal government.
It was judges Don Willett, featured here on the front page Friday, Alabama girl Edith Brown Clements and Houston’s own Jennifer Walker Elrod. Judge Clements has been on the Fifth Circuit since 2001 and Judge Elrod has served since 2007, both appointees of President George W. Bush.
This three judge panel has been working their tails off recently.

I spent the last four hours or so moving jars of canned goods from the garage to a staging area upstairs, in anticipation of getting the flooring finished and shelves moved in.
Hubby was all about building some contraption to act as a dumb waiter to haul stuff between the floors. I was thinking a simple pulley and a small winch. He wants to go buy some steel and weld things ‘n stuff.
He’s a builder. A builder engineer. His degree is Engineering Technology, essentially the kind of people that take the drawings that engineers create and make the real stuff. He loves to work with metal. Need a special bracket? Call Hubby.
But, maybe it’s the engineering thing or the man-gene, he tends to overbuild. “Bigger is better.” I remember trying to tell him I wanted some PVC pipe to make a greenhouse over my garden. “All I need is six or eight short pieces of rebar and three or four joints of PVC,” I told him. He insisted I walk out to my garden and measured the beds, taking notes of all the joints and elbows and parts he was going to need.
Me? I’m the “as long as it works, and I prefer removable in case circumstances change later” kind of girl. The next day I went to Lowe’s and was pleasantly surprised to find that they sold short lengths of rebar. I bought those and some plastic painting drop cloths, then called him to ask specifically for just the lengths of PVC. While waiting for those to arrive, I drove the rebar into the ground at an angle tilted over the garden. When he arrived home, I took the PVC pipes and slid the ends over the exposed rebar ends. They made a hoop over the garden, which I covered with the plastic. He stood there for a moment, then said “Okay, looks good” and walked off.
So…back to the jar moving…I just don’t see the need to spend the money and create a permanent eyesore for a temporary problem. He has real problems going up and down the stairs, because he’s pretty much shot his right knee after years of climbing up and down off the backhoe. He also has that bigger/better thing going on in his head. He wants to move big amounts in fewer trips up the stairs. Me? I’ve been moving the jars up the stairs, five or six at a time. I’m able to stop and clean the jars of dust and check the seals, too.
I have no problem doing a little bit at a time, over time. I just have to make sure I don’t do too much at one time.
Learned that lesson a long time ago…./sigh
-
Oh, I got a little over halfway done before I called off the jar hauling for the day.
Stopping while I can, and not when I have to.

I recall that shocking and sad day 22 years ago. I was at home and listening to a l0cal radio morning show when it was interrupted by the first news of the first tower’s attack. That was followed by the local host telling us the radio management was already calling the network to determine if it was an ugly hoax or for real. The answer that came back was chilling, heart-stopping, and unreal. Yes, somebody crashed a plane into one of the twin towers. Shortly after that came word that a second plane crashed into the second tower and that damage to both buildings looked to be severe.
By then I was on the phone to spouse at work to tell him this was happening, and he said they already had a radio going and were looking for TV coverage to come on. Everybody there was in shock. As the news got worse and worse I concluded that I was having a really bad dream and needed to wake up before it got worse. Glued to the TV with prayers that it wasn’t real, until it became clear that it was real. One can never forget that, never.

Saturday Special Impeachment Report

Weird. Let me try that again…

Quickie Impeachment update.
I wasn’t able to watch today’s morning session.
This afternoon we see Tony Buzbee questioning a witness for the first time since the very first witness appeared last week.
Buzbee has to be one of the most unlikeable drama queens participating in this trial.
Which is just fine. Perhaps this is the role he intends to play in this drama.
I just don’t understood why they are using him in this fashion against some of the most sympathetic witnesses involved.
-
After watching so many hours of these type proceedings over the years, I am convinced that even if I graduated from law school I could never fully understand the nuances of the rules concerning the definition of “hearsay” evidence and it’s admissibility.
-
That said, I think the Judge is being overly-cautious in his rulings on the Defense objections to so-called hearsay evidence…repeatedly ruling in their favor.

It ain’t just the southern border that leaks like a sieve.
Climbing numbers of terrorists come through the northern border, too.
The number of immigrants who have entered the U.S. northern border so far this fiscal year, which spans from October 2022 through September 2023, is more than 4.6 times higher than the number that entered in fiscal year 2020, former President Donald Trump’s last full year in office, according to the latest U.S. government data available.
Additionally, agents recorded 375 encounters at the northern border with people on the Terrorist Screening Dataset, also known as the terrorist watchlist, so far in 2023. The southern border, which saw significantly more immigrant encounters overall, has seen 216 watchlist encounters so far this year.
Nearly half of all 2023 northern encounters occurred on New York’s border, despite the fact that the state only makes up about 8% of the U.S. land border with Canada.
But it’s the madman in Texas that’s causing all the trouble.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick opened the fifth day of the Ken Paxton impeachment trial by saying the jury could begin deliberations as soon as Thursday.
Patrick, the presiding officer of the trial, said each side has about 14 ½ hours left, meaning they “could be out of time on Thursday morning.” That means Paxton’s fate could be in the jury’s hands by “late Thursday or Friday.”
“We will not take a day off until a final resolution,” Patrick said.

Tedtam -John in Bibs’ coleslaw recipe for freeze-drying is right real tasty – as long as you like creamy, slightly sweet coleslaw… The recipe, as written, only makes 2 trays (I divided it into 3 “segments” on each tray, and stuck ’em in the freezer). I think there would be enough dressing for at least one more bag of slaw mix after all the things you do to the coleslaw mix before you call it good – maybe even 2 (the recipe calls for 2 each 14 oz bags) .. I’ve got Nat loaded with egg noodles, which should finish sometime tonight – so I’ll likely set it to run all night…

Obviously, since the EU has no jurisdiction in the USA any action they take against a tech company would legally affect their activities in the 27 member states of the EU.
A small internet service provider might inadvertently break an obscure rule or have a client publishing opinions or images some dipsh*t in Brussels doesn’t like and then they come down on the ISP who may or may not have clients in the EU, but the ISP is told all of their servers (and client website operators) will be blocked in the EU if they don’t shut down the independent website in America. It is blackmail.
This is the same way China and the EU manipulate all the American Big Tech companies although eventually, as it stands, it will filter down to the smallest players. The US government could fight this, but it damn sure won’t happen with the Xoe Xiden administration.

The return of the Bayou Bucket saw the Houston Cougars go down big, fight back, only to lose on a failed two-point conversion in double overtime to the Rice Owls, 43-41, dropping them to 1-1 on the season.
Rice scored 28 unanswered points and looked like the better team for three quarters of Saturday night’s game. Rice’s JT Daniels looked like the former five-star quarterback that had power programs watering at the mouth, and Luke McCaffrey made plays that his big brother Christain would only try to do in Madden. Then, Houston clawed, scratched, and battled their way back to force extra football in one of the most exciting games of week two.
I didn’t know either. Congratulations, El Gordo.
Houston went into halftime trailing 28-7. Twitter said they were done. I thought they were done. But in the fourth quarter, something changed. A flip switch. Maybe it was Rice trying to protect the lead, or maybe Houston’s offense was finally coming alive, but Smith was finally able to move the ball and use his legs to score twice in the fourth, helping Houston score 28 unanswered points back on the Owls and force overtime.

A few more thoughts on the EU Digital Series Act.
Of all the rights enumerated in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, the most important being freedom of speech, religion, assembly & association, press and redress of grievances, the EU’s actions will most directly threaten the first listed. Any diminishment of American’s right to freely speak and express their opinions is both illegal and a fundamental violation of our Constitution.
This is precisely what is at stake in the Missouri/Louisiana case before the Fifth Circuit and soon to be at SCOTUS.
At least the EU can’t stop Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights.

The first thing I did was go the World Economic Forum website and read what they had to say about the EU-DSA. I figured it would give a good insight into what they really intend to do with it. Go down under CONTENT REMOVAL and read about “trusted flaggers” if you really want to get creeped out.
This TechCrunch article is pretty good too.
Supposedly, the real serious regulation comes down in March of 2024. All the temporary preliminary grace time ends then and it gets dead serious.
