BREAKING: Biden includes Hamas terrorists in impressive 336,000 new jobs report
WASHINGTON, DC—In a truly baffling turn of events, President* Biden’s administration has managed to find a silver lining in the ongoing Middle East conflict. The latest jobs report proudly touts an astonishing addition of 336,000 new jobs, and it seems that even members of the infamous Hamas terrorist group are getting in on the action.
In a press conference that left many scratching their heads, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre gleefully announced, “We’ve achieved something truly remarkable here. Not only have we put Americans back to work, but we’ve also created job opportunities for our friends in Hamas. It’s all part of our commitment to global job growth and diplomacy.”
It appears that the administration is employing some creative accounting to reach these numbers. By counting everyone from fast-food workers to doctors and now, apparently, international terrorists, they’ve managed to create a rosy picture of economic recovery. Some have even joked that the White House might be considering a “terrorist jobs czar” position to further boost these statistics.
That was one weird tag-up mistake by Altuve.
I hate to say this but I will be glad when the /stros play in Arlington. This whole season they have not played well in the Juice Box.
The Astros are on the free local Fox affiliate.
Down 2-0 to the nasty boys from Arlington.
I know what ya mean. Throwing that damn Samsung TV into the dumpster today was tough work. But I am rewarding myself with a tall Mormon Martini, a fine cuban cigar while watching the Astros on a Sony Bravia.

Any suggestions, Gramps? I’d say your #55 pretty much does the trick. I generally just use ham hock or bacon in my greens, nothing fancy since they’re pretty flavorful as is. My wife and I love turnips, mustard and collards. Wife really likes purple top turnip roots, cooked or raw. For supper I had a bowl of my first batch… Read more »
Once again: Do not ever buy a Samsung television.
I just went through an infuriating experience simply trying to turn Fox News Channel’s Mark Levin Show.
This has been the most exhausting week I’ve had in years, maybe since 9-11.
aka “chicken base”.
Yours is definitely better than what I use. I found some Knorr lower salt, but I’d much rather have yours.
I’ve foregone things electronic with the gorgeous weather. I finally had to come back so I could find a recipe for dinner. It’s now in the oven.
Making sausage and cabbage for dinner, since that’s what I have in the frig. Since I have the FD chicken stock in the shelf, I added a few spoonfuls to the mix you see what it did for the flavor.
I finished my plumbing job by early afternoon. I was wiped out after yesterday’s craziness. Crawling around on my back in kitchen cabinets is enough to ruin me for a day.
Taking a breather from rosary making. I have the last ten it so strung except for the pieces to arrive if a day or so. A quick portal of headlines revealed that Suzanne Somers has passed away. Breast cancer finally got her. I didn’t realize that she’s been fighting it for decades. She was one day short of her 77th… Read more »
Home from a late Sunday dinner at the Olive Garden in Rosenberg. Lots of take-home as usual for us. Everything will be as good if not better tomorrow when all the juices/gravy/or dressings soak into the appropriate foods. Spouse went past the new Olive Garden yesterday on highway 99 between Sugar Land and Richmond. He saw a sign that it… Read more »
Good friend neighbors three houses down lost their dog today, she was suffering but she was a gamer. She came down to visit our dog Buddy all the time, they were cute friends.
One recipe suggests cooking the bacon in the pan first, then sweat some finely chopped shallot and garlic, then cook in chicken broth. Drain and splash with some apple cider vinegar before serving.
And today I mowed for the first time since late May or June.
I’m usually a mustard greens guy. Not much for collards.
But those collards were really good. I wish I knew how he seasoned them. I always put in some bacon ends and pieces. But he had something else in there.
Any suggestions, Gramps?
Yesterday we took the Kancamagus Highway up into the White Mountains, stopped at some of the tourists traps and stayed overnight in a nice mountain hotel. Leaf season either hasn’t fully developed, or some folks say there was too much rain this summer. But we saw enough of it, beautiful.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been around cats. We are staying with she wife’s nephew and family and they have two cats, we all just got here about an hour ago after being gone two full days and the both of them could barely show enough interest to turn their heads toward us. 😀
We just got thru re-working the “doggie prison” we put Shortie in when we left for church this morning… Only to see her running gleefully down the ramp to greet us as we got out of the car… Thanks be to God for watching over her and keeping her HERE, even her Houdini-like skills. Guess you can take a dog… Read more »

Maybe not???
Ok, who here did know what PHI stands for?
Me, I’m just pleased that I easily and quickly worked today’s sudoku on my 2nd run.
My #45 PHI = Petroleum Helicopters International. I figured that most of you would know who/what it was but maybe not.
Oh and I making a big ole Pot O Chili. Put it on about 1:30 PM. Already smelling goood. 😉
FWIW; I just had to Log In first time since I used my Lap-Top over in St Simon’s Island Georgia. 😉
2 giant chicken-fried pork chops mashed potatoes collard greens corn bread Mercy! That sounds awful good. I remember the first time I went to a “Soul Food” place and thought Soul Food?!?! This is exactly what we had growing up in LA. 😀 The place was in Metairie about 1984, maybe? I went to a PHI school on a R-Nav… Read more »
This cold snap we are having has Billy Cat waiting for his breakfast on the patio in the mornings. No more snooting his chow, he knows where it will be, and he makes sure he won’t be left out.
Morning, gang. I messed up my sudoku, so I’ll have to erase it and start over. Maybe later, eh
Here we are at the Ides of October already. Time keeps flying by it seems. Perhaps the late departure of Summer messed things up, but better late than never…. Fall is finally here.
A friend bought me lunch from the local soul food joint.

mashed potatoes
collard greens

I think this song may be going through the Texas dizzy dunce’s head in my #40 pic.
Checkout the look on the Kenyan’s face in this picture.
looks as though he’s thinking keep your hands off my man, dude.
Texpat 7:59 From the recent “leakings” regarding businesses having anything to do with electric vehicles of any kind, it appears that questions about them are popping up rather frequently now. It would seem that the EV breeders have rushed into the market without seriously and adequately investigating what the driving public really thinks about EVs. That is, those not told… Read more »
It seems that Australia is having the same problems as Canada and to some extent the US. I saw a post from Lee over yonder where she was happy that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was defeated and a friend of hers was surprised that she voted the way she did.

I would suspect the Ford dealership owners are about to revolt. Buck Throckmorton has a roundup on electric vehicle news and it is a disaster. Ford sold 6,464 F150 Lightning EVs in Q3 2022, but sales in Q3 2023 fell to just 3,503 which annualizes to only 42,000 per year. Ford executives think pretend they’re going to sell hundreds of thousands… Read more »
Now that I have lived more than 7 decades, sleeping more than 3-1/2 hours at a time seems impossible. I’ve never been a big sleeper and five hours was usually good enough for me, but if you can’t to that deep REM sleep level then no amount of sleep ever makes you feel rested.
Three tamales and chili is a pretty good 2am breakfast, though.
I hope this two straight nights of sleeping from 7pm to 2am isn’t a permanent affliction.
But I have heard that we Second-born folks will get our just rewards in Heaven.
We get to sit up front near the orchestra…and all the First-borns have to sit in the nose-bleed seats.
It’s a gentle, eternal punishment for their universally evil ways.
And, yes.

Starlink is now available to me, but for twice the monthly cost of what I am paying for broadband.
The only Internet available to me is line-of-sight Broadband….off of a nearby water tower. My home transceiver is on the tallest tower that they offer.
I barely get by with one bar (occasionally two!) of phone service from an AT&T tower not far away on Highway 36. It’s a topography problem – I am in a low spot.
Shannon Do you have any speed internet access or are you tethering off your phone? If not you might wanna check this offer form Verizon. https://www.verizon.com/home/internet/5g/ I left my old DSL for T-Mobiles 4G service. It was quite the step up till they upgraded to 5G. Killed my service bad. At the same time my telco got fiber down here.… Read more »

He’s 72 years old and looks tired.
But for $5 million a year, I guess I’d keep working, too.

Thanks for the update. It does have one heck of a picture.
I’ve never gone wrong with a Sony.
Looks like my Medicare Part D company is exiting the business. I’ll have to find drug coverage elsewhere.
Oh, what fun.
I went outside several times noonish today to see what could be seen of the partial eclipse. Answer: nothing. I could see nothing of the disk because it was just blindingly bright to look toward the sun. There was an interesting jittery light pattern passing through the canopy of tree leaves down onto the patio. All surfaces seemed a bit… Read more »
SHEFAYIM KIBBUTZ, Israel − They exchanged text messages and emojis. Brief status updates with words of encouragement. A picture of the beloved family dog, Tutsi. Until no more messages came.

Four days after Hamas attacked Israel, more than 100 Israelis and… Read more »

now that’s some funny stuff from one half of our very own blog Smothers brothers.
