I disagree, Texpat.
I think that our boomer generation is the first one who virtually wholesale took for granted the gifts handed to us.

Shannon and Squawk

I believe Americans have historically taken their nation’s gifts for granted and this country has always veered closer to the edge of the cliff many more times than all but the wisest men and best historians realize.

It’s always nice to goad Squawkie out of his den.

The bottom line is that we’re on the precipice of losing our nation.

I started reading about intersectionality well over ten years ago.
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so it took a year or two to figure out what it was.

Intersectional:

: the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups

Watch this 22 minute video detailing serial prosecutorial misconduct by Jack Smith and his team. Jack Smith, at a minimum, deserves disbarment and any reasonable person would declare that he deserves prison time for his misbehavior. I do not want to stand next to him on Judgement Day as I might get burnt by the roasting. Judge Cannon is probably… Read more »

Just talked to Harper. Sounds pretty chipper. Still no power. Swears that she is in “no danger of starvation or overheating.” She made a deal with her neighbor’s “cleanup guy” to clear the incredible amount of debris around her house and on top of her garage. I’m close to a solution for her computer problems. And I have her okay… Read more »

Today’s comments here have lots of good information that can help clarify messed up info one comes across from the New York newspaper that the Houston Chronicle dutifully prints stuff from.

Even mediocre politicians don’t make huge mistakes like this. This family owned service station/convenience store chain is hugely popular in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Ohio. Can you imagine Trump coming to Texas and making a big appearance at Bucci’s and then having the DOJ slam them the next morning with phony civil rights violations ? While… Read more »

Oh boy. after 40 years of busting the border open and the phony speaker of the house preacher giving the ny Mayo stain everything he wanted in the latest border busting bill, the republicant’s are expressing fake concern. HA! next thing you know they may just become ‘troubled’ about this and fire off a sternly worded letter if they can… Read more »

I’m not a WNBA fan or a NBA fan so I don’t keep up with what goes on there. But it seems this Caitlyn Clark girl from Iowa has a bunch cranks angry because as on wit put it… Caitlin Clark is the complete opposite of the butch, angry, man hating, child hating, 6ft, heavily tattooed lesbian who plays in… Read more »

Glenn Reynolds follows the below story with this from ProPublica 12 years ago. A few weeks ago, the Food and Drug Administration hit the American Red Cross with a nearly $10 million fine for safety violations, lax oversight and faulty testing of its blood services. The fine is just the latest of more than a dozen the Red Cross has racked up… Read more »

I’m thinking of all the people who desperately want the government to run all healthcare in America. This is ghastly. May 20 (UPI) — The British government “did not put patient safety first” while covering up a multi-decade tainted blood scandal, leading to thousands of related deaths, a report published Monday found.Britain’s National Health Service allowed blood tainted with HIV and Hepatitis to… Read more »

It’s only May and this election season gets weirder by the day. My imagination can’t conjure up what it might look like in the fall. Cindy Adams has been the gossip columnist at the New York Post for about 97 years, I think.

The Religion of Peace. A United Nations (UN) official told Reuters they have not received any aid for the past two days from the US-built pier in Gaza following a major pillaging incident Saturday.11 out of 16 trucks sent from the pier were waylaid and pillaged Saturday before entering a UN warehouse, the official told Reuters. and, “We need to make sure… Read more »

I deleted my own comment and rewrote it. Now the last 2 comments previous to mine from Bonecrusher and Squawk don’t appear even though they show up normally in the dashboard. WTH ?

Addendum to my 9:06 AM comment: It’s not a trap only if you completely trust Microsoft and Big Tech to protect your privacy… It’s a new feature named Recall, part of the company’s Copilot AI chatbot, and it will screencap literally everything you do on your Windows or Surface computer to help you find stuff later. and, “As you use… Read more »

People including women without hijabs are dancing in the streets of Tehran celebrating the death of President Ebrahim Raisi.

This is interesting even if it is Microsoft. I’m sure Apple has a better version coming. Microsoft’s launching Recall for Copilot Plus PCs, a new Windows 11 tool that keeps track of everything you see and do on your computer and, in return, gives you the ability to search and retrieve anything you’ve done on the device.The scope of Recall, which… Read more »

Honest Reporting asks the question:

“Why won’t the media give a voice to the courageous Gazans who openly oppose Hamas?”

It most certainly doesn’t fit into their twisted narrative.

Catching up. If you missed Texpat’s (May 20 @ 11:52 AM) piece about the International Criminal Court (ICC) approving the pursuit of arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders for war crimes, you need to check it out. I’m sure that Biden will denounce this ridiculous nonsense and explain that Israel is AT… Read more »

The System 76 desktop computers Squawk linked to last night look very cool. It is impossible for me to justify $4,300 – 4,999 for one with my level of skill and usage.

My neighbor who I repaired our fence with has 4 chickens and he gets 4 eggs a day. He claims that if you don’t wash the eggs you don’t need to refrigerate them and that they will last for months. I have heard similar claims from other egg producers. All I know is that I can taste the difference in… Read more »

I just finished peeling a half dozen boiled eggs, not my favorite thing to do. I’d boiled them on Sunday not knowing exactly what I was going to do with them but my Nutty NASA buddy, Linda gave me a recipe for Egg Salad that uses Cream Cheese so I’m going to give it a try. Oh and if you’re… Read more »

SO while the coffee is brewing lets start off with a nice 59 Desota Firedome Convertible. I love the coral Color. That said I don’t like the modern Pimp Wheels, ruins the classic look.

Amen to that. And you may or not know, the words “Sporting Purposes” were first used in the Gun Control Act of 68 to separate Handguns from Sporting weapons, (rifles and shotguns). Remember in 68 an awful lot of folks hunted the the Communists didn’t want to scare the masses into thinking that they were trying to take away ALL… Read more »
