      So Texpat is heading home already? Short trip but I know “Family Visits” can only last so long. I know that I can sure wear out my welcome not that there’s anything wrong with that. But I’m guessing that y’all had a great time. Has daughter already left? In any case the ole Memory Bank should be full. 😉

    Alabama is no different than any other state.
    Longest-serving Alabama Democrat pleads guilty to federal charges.

    Longtime Alabama state representative John Rogers resigned after pleading guilty to federal conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges related to a kickback scheme involving a community grant program.

    Rogers had directed $400,000 in grant money to an organization run by former representative Fred Plump, who then gave approximately $200,000 back to Rogers and his assistant.

    As part of a plea deal, Rogers agreed to pay $197,950 in restitution and faces a recommended sentence of 14 months home confinement.

    His resignation comes after Plump and the assistant also pleaded guilty to related charges.

    Rogers was the third Alabama lawmaker from this term to plead guilty to criminal charges.

    Florida Man.

    HOLMES COUNTY, Fla (WDHN) — A Florida deputy is recovering after being attacked at the Vortex Springs SolFest by a drugged-out volunteer, a release from the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office says.

    According to the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office, James Anderson, the volunteer, attacked a deputy, biting a “chunk” out of the deputy’s head while trying to grab his gun. The deputy was on walking patrol at the festival.

    AND;

    The HCSO release said the deputy tried to fight off Anderson and tased him before he was eventually restrained by several other deputies.

    Deputies say Anderson was under the influence of PCP, LSD, ketamine, mushrooms, and ecstasy at the time of the attack.

    The deputy was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

    Anderson is charged with aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.

    Emphasis Mine.

    It has been a busy, fun week here in Texas with my brother and daughter. Special time since we are about the last survivors of our little family. Thanks for keeping the boat afloat while I was here. I do hate to have to leave my beloved Texas.

    Curtis & Leroy bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day. The next morning the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night.”

    Curtis & Leroy replied,”Well, then just give us our money back.” The farmer said,”Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.” They said, “OK then, just bring us the dead mule.” The farmer asked, “What in the world ya’ll gonna do with a dead mule?” Curtis said, “We gonna raffle him off.”

    The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!” Leroy said, “We shore can! We don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!” A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked. “What’d you fellers ever do with that dead mule?”

    They said,”We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.” Leroy said,”We sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.” The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?” Curtis said, “Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back.”

    With all due respect, not trying to embarrass you, here.

      When I previewed the post, it looked fine.

    Sorry for the large video, folks. It looked okay when I previewed it last night. I’m off to a meeting, so I’ll check in later.

    i edited your video size and found it is a Rumble video. Here is how to do/

    Rumble videos
    When you choose to share a window opens that allows you to choose how to embed.

    It will offer Jave Script when you open. Chick on that window and choose iFrame. Copy that embed code below iFRAME NOT THE BOTTOM ONE. If you have problems just ask and I will help walk you through the process.

    A recent study found people who drink their coffee black are more likely to exhibit psychopathic traits. While people who order a quad shot, non fat, vanilla soy, extra foam, light whip with camel drizzle are more likely to be their victims.

    Squawk ..I just checked the Rumble procedure, and what you said is what I did. It’s the same procedure that I’ve used in the past without problem.

    WordPress just hates me.

      Did you open and paste the code into “Text”?

      1. Tedtam Avatar

        I copied the text (CTL+C) from the “frame box” to the clipboard, and then posted that string from the clipboard into the OC page directly (CTRL+V). If you’re asking if I pasted it as text elsewhere, the copied/pasted a second time, no.

          Best way is to copy that code form Rumble. Click the text button on the post composer, paste the rumble code, click on the visual button and finish composing your post as normal. That is the only way to insure you ain’t got a HUGE video.

        If there is a safer alternative procedure, please let me know. I’ve done this particular procedure in the past and not had a problem.

    My routine has been so disturbed that I haven’t even made it to the C&C today!

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Wednesday! That means it’s time to roundup all the news you need to know. In today’s fascinating edition: Trump ‘legal expenses’ trial gets x-rating; Trump classified documents trial suffers a setback for the government; AstraZeneca makes a coincidental, totally not-related move right after reluctantly admitting its clot shots are unsafe; veterinarian jabmaker claims massive numbers of Americans permanently disabled by you-know-what; Boy Scouts finally go ahead and just rename to Woke Scouts; we dodge a nuclear bullet and two tank articles tell us everything we need to know about the state of the Proxy War.

    I’m looking forward to his legal discussion. I didn’t catch much about the testimony yesterday, except that it was devastating to the prosecution, should have never been allowed, but was allowed because the judge was too busy doing his happy dance about it.

    This 757 is doing almost 600 mph because we’re flying due north almost to Chicago, then heading
    east to avoid all the nasty weather and to still make it on time. Waving from 37,000 feet.

    I’m not sure how you lose a loaded bulldozer on The North Loop but apparently someone else does.
    The giant Machine made it through the wall into oncoming lanes – all of them from first glance.

    I saw a video last night of a Boeing 767 landing at Istanbul with no nose gear. Pilot did a fine job. It was a Fed-Ex plane.
