Absolutely devastating news… On Martha’s Vineyard, they’re running out of government-regulated marijuana, and that has some of the locals up in virtual arms. Slowly, one imagines. The Associated Press told the story on Tuesday of an unnamed 81-year-old Vineyard resident who drove to the Island Time pot shop to pick up her usual dose but “owner Geoff Rose had to tell her the cupboard was bare.” He’d had to close up shop three weeks earlier after selling out the last of his inventory of weed and edibles. Barack Obama could not be reached for comment before publication but my sources say he was last… Read more »
Hubby got a phone call and grudgingly got up to answer it. (He’s had a hard day, working on my car in the heat.) He walked to the bar where he’d plugged in his phone and then I hear his happy voice: “Hey! It’s my friend Scam Likely!”
Hubby isn’t always funny, but he was that time. We both laughed.
Big Mama Thornton first recorded “Ain’t Nothing But a Hound Dog” that had been written by two Jewish teenagers named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
Once Elvis made a huge hit out of it, Big Mama threatened to sue him and got lawyers involved until it was revealed two little, white Jewish boys had actually written it and then it all went away.
My medical forms rant reminds me of a story I know I’ve told here or on LST before. Correcting my comment below, I was only 4 years old in the summer of 1956 when I had my tonsils removed at the old Saint Joseph’s Hospital in downtown Houston. My father, only 30 years old, was always fascinated with new technology showed up to my hospital room the day after I had been terrorized by these Catholic Nun nurses who had stood around a gurney in the operating room and held me down while a really scary one held a mask… Read more »
There is one thing I do since filling out these stupid forms every time you show up to a doctor’s office irritates the hell out of me and basically I refuse. I have three lists typed up with my full name, address, email, cellphone and birthdate: A) All my prescription medications and over the counter meds listed with dosage info; B) a list of all my physicians and their contact numbers; C) a historical list of every injury or operation I’ve ever had since 1956 (4 years old). You’d be surprised how grateful these office personnel because all they have… Read more »
“The Freeze” was a dance move in the 80’s, but Joe takes it a bit too far. Someone removed their hand from the Meat Puppet’s butt and he was left frozen. It’s pathetic how George Floyd’s brother tried to help him cover the problem with a rather weak fist bump. I find the dude to the left in the sparkly gown rather disconcerting as well. However, I do take some consolation that Sparkly Dude doesn’t have the power to instigate WWIII. https://x.com/NowTheEndBegins/status/1800505603602968605 If that doesn’t scare the heckfahr outta you, I don’t know what will.

In scientific news, we are developing a methodology for using robots to prep Mars for exploration and colonization. Researchers have developed an innovative method that enhances autonomous robotic exploration on other planets by utilizing teams of robots rather than a single large unit. This new approach integrates multiple data sources such as HiRISE orbiter imaging, probability distribution maps, and onboard rover sensors, which collectively aid in determining the most efficient and safe routes for exploration teams.The primary focus of this new methodology is to optimize the exploration of Mars, specifically targeting the Jezero crater. By employing multi-robot teams, the methodology… Read more »
North Korean soldiers getting frisky with their own illegal border crossing. We have these two conflicting paragraphs: The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) disclosed during a Tuesday news briefing that while some of the North Korean soldiers were armed, others carried maintenance equipment. Details such as the number of soldiers involved or the number of warning shots fired by South Korean forces were not specified. The JCS assessed that the intrusion was not intentional, as the North Korean soldiers quickly withdrew back to the north after South Korea issued a warning broadcast and fired warning shots.This border breach… Read more »
Spouse and I have come down with nasty colds, likely something caught by eternal waiting in airports on the way home from visiting the kin in Wisconsin. That was a fun time. Their ancient Labrador, Ozzy (in his 15th year) was looking much better than he had been, but their vet said the meds he is now on are the last ones he can offer. They’ve run out of meds to try. When I feel halfway good, I keep in touch with y’all and catch up on what I missed while gone. Appetite is mostly gone for both of us.… Read more »

A while back, you were wondering about all the traffic from B/CS pouring on to 290 from HWY 6 at Hempstead Saturday.
They had two major sporting events that weekend…Super Regional College Baseball Playoff games and a Brazil vs. Mexico soccer match that drew 85,000 to Kyle Field Saturday night.
Mr. C. then brings up awesome DeSantis Florida news. Pushback against Gov Ed abuse, and how he managed to deflate a surge in illegal immigration before it became a problem.
Oh, if only we could clone him and ship him to other states….
Mr. C. ventures into the legal realm to discuss the decision by an appellate court to declare the jab not a “vaccine” but a “therapeutic,” which changes all kinds of rules and dictates. Texpat noted the ruling yesterday, as did Mr. C. This is important. The C&C has some paragraphs regarding this decision, and once again I learned something new: …But the appellate courts like the 9th still have a super power to resist bad Supreme Court decisions, which is the awesome ability of distinguishing.Distinguishing Supreme Court precedent means carving it up into smaller and smaller pieces, so that it applies in… Read more »
When the whole Ukraine thing blew up, one of the discussions that surrounded Russia’s invasion was the threat of the rise of Nazism in Ukraine. Remember when Russia fought a big, huge war against Nazis? Yeah. [Insert image of Azov soldiers, in full gear, holding a flag with a swastika on it]The alleged President of the United States, the free world’s bastion of freedom and democracy, the shining light upon the hill, the country that saved the world from the German Chancellor with the funny mustache, is now officially and literally arming nazis.In a story describing Ukraine’s infamous Azov Battalion only as “a… Read more »
Here’s the roundup du jour from the C&C: Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! As election season inexorable trundles across the political battlefields, the dramatic news does not stop. In today’s essential news roundup: Biden’s latest great Proxy War idea might have been his worst idea ever, but at least the 1935 German Chancellor would be proud; Biden polling circling the toilet bowl; some clarifying comments about the 9th Circuit’s terrific Health Freedom Fund decision; Florida wins more ground in the culture wars as DeSantis tosses down the school gauntlet; and the rest of Europe joins France as EU members vote… Read more »
I requested a mosquito fogging this morning, and not, did it make s difference. I was finally able to stay in my garden and fertilize until the heat became to much. I didn’t with about watering in since we’re supposed to get some rain soon. If it fails to materialize, I’ll water later.
So, cooling off at the desk for a bit. Hubby’s is working on my car today. We’ll see if he can get me mobile soon.
Had the gas line outlet done – thanks bone. (btw – did you get a hose to run from gas meter to your generator?)
Upstairs A/C has been producing lots of airs, but no cools. Guy came to investigate. Pressure in the system was ambient. Yay. Pressurized the system with nitrogen in effort to see a leak with bubbles. Nope.
Turns out the inlet valve on the low pressure side was leaking. Dude didn’t have one on his truck, plus not enough refrigerant, and no vacuum pump. So I get to reschedule.
What is good for the goose . . . Headline: It’s Time to Arrest James Clapper and Antony BlinkenProsecutors in Donald Trump’s New York City trial alleged that he attempted to unlawfully sway the 2016 presidential election by suppressing damaging stories about his personal life.“This was a planned, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election, to help Donald Trump get elected through illegal expenditures to silence people who had something bad to say about his behavior,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo told the jurors back in April. “It was election fraud, pure and simple.”If trying to suppress damaging stories is a crime, then former… Read more »
My question is this: What incentive at all does Hamas have for negotiating a ceasefire with Biden/Blinken ? If Israel isn’t a party to the deal then what is the point ?
I am certain Squawk will never look this good in a Speedo. Adam Mara’ana is half-Jewish, half Arab-Muslim and all heart. Next month, the lights-out gorgeous citizen of Israel is set to represent the Jewish state in the pool as a member of the Israeli Olympic swimming team, traveling to Paris to compete in the 100-meter backstroke event.At the tender age of 20, Adam is more than an athlete. He is living proof that the country of his birth is nothing like the evil caricature portrayed in the international leftist media and slandered on college campuses near and far. and the… Read more »
I’m posting this on the outside chance someone has not heard the story. It’s a stunning admission of guilt we’ve all known was true. The most surprising part is it originated from Pelosi’s own daughter. Moments after being whisked away from the U.S. Capitol after it was breached on Jan. 6, 2021, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was captured on videotape declaring “I take responsibility” for failing to have a better security plan for the complex that fateful day, according to footage released Monday by House GOP investigators.“We have responsibility, Terri,” Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of… Read more »
If you had even a shred of respect left for the FBI, this will cure it. I was ready to start smashing things against the wall last night when I read this. FBI officials conducting a top-secret security clearance review for a longtime employee asked witnesses whether that employee was known to support former President Donald Trump, if he had expressed concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine or had attended a Second Amendment rally, according to internal memos that prompted a complaint to the Justice Department’s internal watchdog alleging political bias inside the bureau.The employee’s security clearance was revoked months after the interviews,… Read more »
So the feckless Biden Administration is planning to negotiate with Hamas on release of the US hostages and leave the Israelis out of it? Somehow having the Secretary of Eunuch’s involved in this doesn’t give me the warm fuzzes.

I figured the Hwy 6 traffic had to have been from a big event in BCS, probably sport. Sure was a late crowd at 1:30 AM.

Okay, LANGUAGE WARNING! But a Marine explains the difference between men and women.
