    Check out this neat machete a guy built out of a 1979 Chevy blazer leaf spring to use on his ATV at his hunting property. Its a 1/4″ thick 5160 steel plenty heavy.

      Used properly, that blade will do a lot of damage.

    Good Morning Hamsters,

    Looking forward to some dry weather today after the morning fog finally gives up (at last).

    I hope to find the equestrian section at the Olympic Games and watch them as well as the gymnastics to cheer on our athletes in spirit. Those are of considerable interest to me.

    I appreciate the long days of hard work they put in to win a spot on our teams. It is not magic in the long-haul preparation that looks like magic in the performances. They represent all of us as they perform as well as our country at large. Nobody in America is forced to watch the Olympics; likely can’t say the same for the Chi-Coms and related nations….

    If you want to know what Kamala Harris looks like when she is angry, when she can barely contain her fury, when hate is bubbling to the surface but she keeps it under just under control, then watch the video of her press statement after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Harris boycotted Netanyahu’s appearance before a Joint Session of Congress, even though it is her job as President of the Senate to preside, and the appearance was scheduled a long time ago. Instead she attended a sorority event.

    The meeting was promoted by the White House, but she spent almost no time in front of the cameras with Netanyahu:

      I wonder if part of her fury is the realization that, as POTUS, she’d have to deal with him as an equal at times. One of the most despicable parts of the job is dealing with despicable characters in power, even when you know their despicable secrets. In public there are smiles and “we get alongs” but behind the scenes there’s gagging going on.

      But then, the Cackler has to believe that others are “her equal”. I don’t know that she’s capable.

      We know that “her equal” can be found on the street corners of Hollywood.

    Glenn Reynolds in the NYP:

    But its biggest sin was not blasphemy. It was that it stunk on ice, as most such efforts do.

    Though American news media tried to spin the uproar as coming from a few right-wing religious nuts, the truth is lots of people were offended, and not just in America. The backlash in France, Italy, Britain and elsewhere, from both religious and non-religious, was tremendous.

    There were efforts to defend the debacle, but the truth is revealed by the airbrushing that followed, as the sponsors initiated a massive takedown effort, using copyright claims to get videos of the ceremony struck from services like YouTube and X. If they thought their work was good, why would they hide it?

    and,

    Ceremonies like the Paris opener, on the other hand, are intended to do just the opposite. They are intended to mock and denigrate the underlying Western culture, which even atheists like Richard Dawkins admit is Christian. This, we’re told, is “brave.” Or they pretend surprise that anyone is offended, but as the French say, “Ils sont toujours au courant,” meaning, “They’re always aware.”

    Vice President Kamala Harris

    @VP

    The United States stands with the people of Venezuela who expressed their voice in today’s historic presidential election. The will of the Venezuelan people must be respected. Despite the many challenges, we will continue to work toward a more democratic, prosperous, and secure future for the people of Venezuela.

    No one, but no one, not even Maduro himself, believes the Venezuelan election was legitimate. News reports all over the world have reported the corruption and yet Kamala is stupid as to post this.

      Kamala is stupid, but not about this. She’s counting on libs to be willfully ignorant and she’s giving them cover to do so.

    I heard this morning that Iran has called the French ambassador in for a meeting. It seems the Muslims – at least in Iran – are upset at the mockery of the Last Supper as well, since Jesus is considered a prophet in their religion. They saw this as an insult to their religion, though not as bad as cartooning their pedophilic figure that they all follow.

    Oops.

    Interestingly, I’ve learned through the Christian apologist that I linked to yesterday that Muslims call Jesus “the messiah,” and they expect Jesus to return.

    From what I understand, the pedophile got a distorted version of Christianity and tried to wrap his own desires around it, in an attempt to combine all religions to his. That explains the overlap.

    I’m also reminded that Satan will take parts of Christianity but is unable to recreate them perfectly, and that is usually how he’s found out, according to exorcists. For example, if someone buys a painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe and hangs it in the house, whereupon evil begins visiting the family, a closer look at the painting will find that the feet are missing, or deformed, or some other detail is similarly missing or deformed.

    So it stand to reason that Satan distorted the Christian faith to further his own ends. Note also that the pedophile’s original experiences with the entity he later called the angel Gabriel sounds an awful lot like a demonic experience. Fear, frothing at the mouth, etc.

    I’ve also seen studies that the pedophile may have had a form of epilepsy that could include religious hallucinations. His symptoms described in their book match.

    Either way, billions of people have been led astray, and that is beyond sad.

    Terry McAteer comes from a long time Northern California Democratic political family. He arranged for his college age son to intern with the state Attorney General Kamala Harris.

    A few years ago, I assisted him in securing a summer non-paid internship with Senator Dianne Feinstein in her San Francisco office. Feinstein’s office was unable to have Gregory start in June but told him that then-Attorney General Kamala Harris was looking for summer interns.

    and then…

    Senator Harris vocally throws around “F-bombs” and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day.

    As Attorney General, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, “Good Morning General.”

    Never once during the month-long internship did Harris introduce herself to our son (as he was only in an office with 20 paid employees) and staff was too intimidated by her to introduce him. The only acknowledgment was a form letter of “thanks” signed by Harris given to him on his last day of service.

    Gregory was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members.

    There is so much of this to keep coming out. Even the Sycophantic Media can’t hide it all.

    As Kamala Harris prepares to take the White House after being declared the Democratic presidential nominee by POTUS Joe Biden, she lacks a strong team to back her efforts. According to the Daily Mail, her office’s turnover rate since she became vice president is an astounding 91.5 percent, according to an analysis released by government group Open The Books (OTB). As of March 2024, only 4 of the 47 employees Harris hired upon taking office in 2021, were still employed. “Chaos reigns on the vice president’s staff,” OTB founder Adam Andrzejewski, stated. “Our auditors at OpenTheBooks quantified an extraordinarily high 91.5-percent staff turnover rate.”

    and,

    Additionally, when Harris was California’s attorney general in 2010, similar allegations were made. According to Barbara O’Connor, a professor at California State University, Sacramento, students who interned under Harris frequently came back to her weeping and complaining that they “felt under-valued.” Former State Operations Director, Kelly Mehlenbacher, also wrote a scathing resignation letter in 2019, according to The New York Times. “I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly,” she opined.

    Finally, prayer and exercise time is over, I’ve put my chicken stock into the freezer, and showered up in preparation for running errands. But first…the C&C roundup:

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! I am on the road again, this time in New York to litigate a fierce preliminary injunction hearing, so today’s roundup is on the brief side. No jokes about how much better it is this way, please. In today’s roundup: media suddenly discovers President Cabbage’s infirmities; Olympic committee apologizes, sort of, not really; Butler SWAT members tell ABC about Secret Service failures; more bad news for Ukraine after mega-aid package; Google misplaces the Trump assassination attempt; and media deploys a new summer covid narrative.

  22. Tedtam Avatar
    Tedtam

    From the C&C – you gotta watch the video clip.

     Candidate Cackle was asked yesterday whether she’ll work with the GOP on the border, and gave one of her wandering, contentless dialogs. A fun party game is to let friends listen to her answer and make them guess what the question was. It’s harder than you think!

    CLIP: Cackle will be stuck to a teleprompter soon (1:07).

    It is pretty wild that neither the alleged President nor the Vice President can express a coherent thought. But in two different ways.

    Prediction: They will soon make her quit all extemporaneous speaking and Plan B will start reading everything off teleprompters. Just like her boss.

    Mr. C. has an interesting question regarding the rapidly deteriorating Ukrainian position:

    Things are going great! Remember, this dire situation follows the $61 billion dollar aid package. Somebody help me out; what do you call it when you pour billions of dollars into a giant hole in the ground, drop mortars and gasoline on top of it, then drive a bunch of high-tech tanks in for good measure, then set the whole thing on fire?

    I just heard Clay & Buck discussing this on the radio: Big Tech is suppressing information on the Trump assassination. FB is blocking the iconic fist-in-the-air image, for example. They say it’s an “altered image”.

    Yeah, I guess it alters their desired image of reality.

    In addition, the autocomplete feature on Google tries to sidestep the obviously most recent story when you type in a search for “assassination attempt”….

    Senator Robert Marshall (R-Ka.) tweeted that he would be making an official inquiry to Google this week as to why the search giant’s autocomplete feature seems to have already forgotten all about the assassination attempt on President Trump: [insert image of every name except Trump]

    Clay & Buck said if you even type in “assassination attempt on Trum” you get Truman, not Trump.

    One more dose of election interference, anyone?

    We’ve had to run a dehumidifier in the basement for the last month or so because the humidity has been so overwhelming this summer. We just got the electric bill. It’s $723 and we usually run around $500 or less in July and August.

    Joe The Moron just threatened to murder the Speaker of the House.

    With Kamala Harris now the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, it’s worth remembering that the United States is still being actively run by a mentally deficient man who has no business anywhere near power. For now, Joe Biden is still the president, and he’s as senile and corrupt as he’s ever been. 

    Providing a reminder of that was an incredibly bizarre and concerning scene on Monday. Standing on an airport tarmac next to Air Force One, Biden was asked about his newly proposed Supreme Court “reforms” being “dead on arrival” in the House of Representatives. The president then quipped, “That’s what he is,” referring to Speaker Mike Johnson. When pressed for clarification, he doubled down, saying, “He is dead on arrival.”

      We are in very dangerous times and the more people other than the brainwashed idiots that think they can get truth from CNN or PMSNBC, that hear these things, the more they will vote no to Kamala and the Ds.

    CO2 produced through breathing and through your skin is the main attraction to mosquitoes.

    But interestingly, a higher metabolic rate is the secondary attractant.

    Which explains why Tedtam is a mosquito magnet. 🙂
