The Gaza Strip. Like a prison. Masses of starving people. Then came October 7th, 2023 and the lie could no longer be told.
Al Khalady Mosque in Gaza
We all were lied to – Gaza was a modern developed city before October 7th – opinion
The Gaza Strip has been compared to an open-air prison for years by anti-Israel activists and media outlets. Now, IDF Reservist Roi Yanovsky shares what he saw in reality…

Late again today checking up on the comments. As usual, good, interesting stuff covering lots of news on all kinds of things to read here. 🙂 It seems that the Lame Stream Media are becoming more and more alarmed that lots of normal Americans are aware of their increasing tendency to pick and choose how to present news with a… Read more »
My brother must be tougher than me. I usually go weeks without them. Even though I avoid NSAIDs as much as possible, after going many nights without any real sleep, sometimes I’ll take a Tramadol and 400 mg. of Ibuprofen. Sometimes, a body just has to have some rest.
Since I finished my apple run for the VW car club’s road trip (my little contribution to the gang), I’m going to try my hand at candy. I picked up some Skittles and Jolly Ranchers today. BSue – the apples were the fastest cycle I’ve ever run. Except maybe cheese shreds. I’m wondering if the apples might’ve been better off… Read more »
In a Monday op-ed in The Hill, Buck said that while Mayorkas may be incompetent, his behavior wasn’t impeachable, and that doing so would set a bad precedent. so having the head of dhs allow a full scale invasion and then order border wire cut that is put up by Texas is not impeachable in Ken Buck’s opinion?.? he should… Read more »

I quit taking any NSAIDs many years ago. They’re just not good for you. You just have to deal with the pain.
#30 Tedtam I took Vioxx for a couple years. I didn’t know that it was withdrawn from the market. In September 2004, Merck voluntarily withdrew rofecoxib from the market because of concerns about increased risk of heart attack and strokeassociated with long-term, high-dosage use. Merck withdrew the drug after disclosures that it withheld information about rofecoxib’s risks from doctors and… Read more »
I know Whirlpool owns Amana, but I didn’t realize their washer parts were interchangeable. We’re assuming the parts are interchangeable; the appliance guy told us the same guys make both lines, so we’re making an assumption. I do miss those Kenmore products. Growing up, we had a Kenmore cooktop. Over the years of cleaning around the name plaque, it came… Read more »
Great OC post today, Texpat.
Be careful in Round Rock, Squawk. It’s a Commie stronghold where patriots are disappeared.

This is fascinating stuff, but I’m a little skeptical. Just take a look at the photo at the link to the article. The woodworking looks too sophisticated for the tools of the period. Maybe I am wrong, but… I have always understood the Mongolians belong in the special class of historic horsemen like Comanches, Cossacks, Andalusians and the Islamic Rashidun… Read more »

38 Dooood The Federal Reserve and huge banks (under fed pressure) have been bailing out the regional banks who hold most of this dead commercial real estate paper for decades now, but like the man said… …what can’t go on won’t go on.

39 Tedtam I know Whirlpool owns Amana, but I didn’t realize their washer parts were interchangeable. I met a guy from Alabama years ago in the appliance business. He told me Whirlpool had a huge plant there for washers and dryers. They had two buildings, two assembly lines, one for Whilrpool and one for (Sears) Kenmore. They were identical units… Read more »
You know what the tragic stupidity of this is ? The atmospheric river arrived on Sunday and wreaked havoc with severe rain, snow and high winds. The storm followed a similar system that brought a deluge of rain to the state last week, leading to saturated ground prone to flooding with the second system. Catastrophic flooding did occur, particularly in Los… Read more »
We had an Amana. New one is Whirlpool. Same manufacturer.
Hubby saved the good parts off of the old machine, so that’s why we stuck with the same make.
Breaking…Ronna be gone… The chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel, has told former President Donald J. Trump she is planning to step down shortly after the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24, according to two people familiar with the plans. Mr. Trump is then likely to promote the chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party, Michael Whatley, as… Read more »
The US domestic commercial real estate market looks like a war zone right now. I’ve been warning about it for years. Yeah, it took a little longer here, but same thing. O&G money kept things afloat for a period, but tons of commercial real estate that was previously full is now scrounging for tenants. You can’t cheat math forever. It… Read more »

Okay, what brand of washer did you buy ?
Beats me. Maybe they use galactic time zones?
I haven’t paid much attention to the newer country music genre for a long time. My tastes run to the older, classic stuff most of these kids have never heard of.

I’m watching Airwolf, and see Frank Burns from MASH playing a bad guy.
It’s hard to hear his voice trying to be harsh and not cracking up laughing.
I spent over an hour researching how to diagnose why my new washing machine wouldn’t start washing. I had to stop so could make a bank run, and on the way out, I punched the start button again. It did the same thing – every light lit up and the “sensing” light blinked. Something told me to hit start again.… Read more »
34 Dooood The middle and upper middle class people of China were encouraged to buy stock in Evergrande and other huge real estate developers by the CCP. They know beyond the charade it is a government owned entity and even if they don’t admit it, they have to be furious at losing life savings or portions thereof. The US domestic… Read more »
I think the Chinese populace is going to feel the brunt of the loss, but there is too much money in play that just evaporated for it not to be felt globally. Exactly right. Oh by the way, Evergrande, the poster child for China’s property bubble, has been ordered to liquidate just a few days ago and the number of commercial properties… Read more »
Son’s slab is mostly completed, six trucks, only one got stuck. He will need a lot of driveway work done now that he didn’t fully expect, recent rains everything is pretty soft. They were floating, I guess it’s called, when I left with those ride on machines.

#20 Squawks & BSue
10 years ago, I had both my knees replaced. It made a world of difference in my life. Only downside was all those years I was still working, getting around with numerous painful klutzy gadgets. “Getting around” was the only thing I really couldn’t do…
More cracking of the vaxx dam. Or the damn vaxx: Popular podcaster Joe Rogan has 15 million subscribers, 3 billion total views, and gets around 190 million downloads per month.

And the Royals are being hard hit, as well: It’s a Royal Massacre.

As if that deplorable list weren’t enough, a… Read more »

Uhhhhh I go to sleep before she does. That does not bode well for me.
Next up, some sad news: Toby Keith succumbed to an illness: As far as I can tell, despite his cancer battle, Toby’s death was sudden and unexpected. There had been no news recently he was hospitalized, and he did not, apparently, go into hospice. It looks like he died at home. More tellingly, as recently as December Toby’s condition was… Read more »
I’m trying to avoid the mental image of Squawk in a Speedo, handing out goodies to little kids, while being chased by a badly limping BSue.

It’s been a busy morning – the usual stringing of beads and prayers, then Hubby told me that some of his car parts we ordered, he doesn’t have. I managed to find the image of the delivery.

Hmmmmm a famous Santa handing out eclipse glasses to kids while wearing my Santa Speedo…….. might do that.
20 Squawk
Bsue’s bad knee seems like it would be in your favor since she has to catch you first if she’s going to whack you with the baseball bat. The torn meniscus might be a headache preventative for you.
I remember the last partial we had here – the quieting of the birds was spooky.
It looks like LD and her family will get the full eclipse experience.
Here’s another incredible, irresistible deal !
2023 2024 Texas Hill Country Solar Eclipse Glasses and Commemorative Poster
Glasses and the Poster in each pack. 10 packs total for $19.95
Unfortunately, they are limiting sales and the 100-pack is not available.
Squawk
I think you should buy this deal. It’s the Patriotic Eagle ISO-approved eclipse glasses – 2,500 pair for only 90¢ a piece.
You can walk around handing them out to kids like some kind of Astronomical Santa Claus. You’ll be famous.
Hi MHarper.
Oh great. BSue has a torn up shredded meniscus and deficient cartilage in her right knee. I am taking bets of whether she has a knee replacement or some other procedure to repair the problem. Odds are currently 5-3 for new knee. Get your bets in early and often. BSue does not see the humor in my comment. Odds are… Read more »

Why are the time calculations at the NSO site an hour off ? They say -5 for Texas and -4 for the East Coast ?
Super Dave I’ve seen a few VersaTube structures here, but they were not full sized buildings. It was usually something like an RV shed. Snow loads are a serious issue, especially if they sit for long periods without melting. The hydrostatic pressure and weight together punish every kind of roof. It’s interesting to observe the progression of design through the… Read more »
