Tried to take Shortie out for morning “walkies” – she turned around and went back to bed… Nuff said…

Hubby and I are packing up. I had the foresight to bring some big trash bags and tape so we can wrap his electric wheelchair before we hit expected rain on the way home. That’s the last thing we need to do.
We found out why the hotels around here are filling up–Choctaw Nation is having some kind of big tribal shindig a mile or so away. Anyone with 1/16 Indian blood qualifies, so there are lots of folks streaming into the hotel today.

Be safe.

Any day now the Left will begin a disinformation media war against the federal Northern District of Texas judiciary. Mark my words. Merrick Garland has flop-sweat nightmares over these judges.
A federal judge in Texas yesterday ruled that Elon Musk’s X Corp. can continue its lawsuit against Media Matters for America. US District Judge Reed O’Connor of the Northern District of Texas, who recently refused to recuse himself from the case despite having purchased Tesla stock, denied Media Matters’ motion to dismiss.
X Corp. sued Media Matters after the nonprofit watchdog group published research on ads being placed next to pro-Nazi content on X, formerly Twitter. X’s lawsuit also names reporter Eric Hananoki and Media Matters President Angelo Carusone as defendants.
Because of O’Connor’s ruling, X can move ahead with its claims of tortious interference with contract, business disparagement, and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. A jury trial is scheduled to begin on April 7, 2025.

DEVELOPING: Kamala campaign has stopped referencing her alleged job at McDonald’s and won’t respond to media questions seeking the location of the McDonald’s store and the dates of her employment at McDonald’s, which appears nowhere in her memoirs or early resumes…developing…

Dana Bash is an embarrassing, smug, permanent resting b*tch face stenographer for the DNC.
Dana Bash had a friendly chat with Kamala and Walz, managing to avoid the most controversial issues. She even gave them multiple choice options on some of the questions.
Two weeks ago she interviewed J.D. Vance. Can you spot the difference in her approach?
-
Why no! I see no difference…….. ~SPITS~

Tomorrow I’m planning to smoke a 3-bone rib roast. Throw some carrots and baby potatoes in the oven while I’m preheating it for the final sear on the roast and cook some popovers after.
yum
-
I would be smoking something today if I had room for a smoker.
-
I have a pellet smoker with the footprint of a medium-sized propane grill. It has a shutter in the heat shield that you can open if you want to sear a steak.
-
It’s very tight here. I would willingly expand the area to accommodate a small smoker, but Her Highness refuses to give up an inch of flowerbed.

I used my freeze dried coffee this morning. I found a travel cup with a metal liner and used my electric water heater to heat water in the cup. I added my fd coffee and it was delicious.

You must have the version that plugs into the cigarette lighter.
-
Not, room plug. It’s hard to type in the car, so I may have gotten the wrong one.
-
When you said “on the road” I thought you meant you were making coffee in the truck going down the highway. Years, many years ago when I was living on the road 6 days a week, we bought what must have been a very early 2 cup coffee pot that plugged into the cigarette lighter. The guy not driving made the coffee.

I accidentally clicked on this girl’s YouTube video and became a fan.
I’m not a big podcast consumer because I don’t have the patience for people hemming, hawing, stuttering around and wasting my time with a lot of irrelevant chatter. Most of the podcasts I’ve seen could be half as long and desperately need a skilled producer/editor.
Her name is Brett Cooper and she is 23 years old. Daily Wire produces her videos now and the first glance of her made me think she is Ben Shapiro’s little sister. Ms. Cooper has 4,310,000 subscribers.
This video is excellent and worth waiting for the end.
Today, I’m reacting to another video by Jubilee! In this video, a group of six people were gathered together to determine who was the most intelligent versus the least intelligent. They were asked to rank the group based on their assumptions about each person’s intelligence, considering their occupations and educations. Then, the entire group took IQ tests to reveal how accurate their predictions were. You don’t want to miss the end of this one.
-
Brett Cooper is awesome.
Theres a running gag that she’s Ben Shapiro’s long-lost sister.

We’re going through Dallas right now, and traffic was slowed down. We thought there was an accident, but no, just some pro Hamas folks on the overpass with a sign asking drivers to honk to show support. Hubby and I gave then the lazy wave, and we assumed the other drivers were as well, since we didn’t hear a single horn go off.
-
Traffic in Dallas is always a mess.
-
If you think DFW traffic is bad, mosey on up to the Washington DC Metro area. It’s the worst nightmare I’ve ever seen.
-

Dallas, the land of pea-soup fog and general suckiness.

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”
George Orwell in 1984
Watch any news report or video of pro-Hamas or BLM protests and they are overwhelmingly populated by young women.

The history of early airmail. Danged interesting I tell you whut.
Concrete arrows, beacons, and infrastructure from a century ago are hiding all across the United States. Once the countries largest navigational system, it now hides in some of the most desolate regions of the country.
-
Great find, Squawk. The reason Americans used to be first in doing most anything in the last three centuries was because there weren’t dozens of government agencies and lawyers telling them they couldn’t. Look at us now.

Son had a job in Midland, he came across a wrecked 2014 Kawasaki ZX10R bike with a good engine on it for $500. Good find for future or now, don’t know what he has in mind.

It’s that old entrepreneurial spirit of Houston, Texas ! It all came back to Texas.
(The Center Square) – Over 40 people accused of running the largest pharmacy burglary stole approximately $12 million worth of controlled substances, according to an indictment.
The bust is the largest in the history of the Drug Enforcement Administration, according to the Department of Justice.
U.S. Attorney Jonathan D. Ross for the Eastern District of Arkansas said Thursday the group of 42 people worked together to burglarize over 200 pharmacies across 31 states. More than 11 of the affected pharmacies were located in Arkansas, according to Ross.
Ross said the group, based in Houston, Texas, targeted independent, non-chain pharmacies in rural locations and would drive rental cars or take flights to get there. Their pattern would be to go to their selected target locations in the early morning, break the glass and crawl on the floor to avoid motion detectors.

I am going to pick up a 1975 Yamaha XS400 with a new spare engine. It needs a little work, but it was free. We’ll get it running and make some change, maybe $3,000. It’s a project for my friend.
-
Sounds like a fun project.

Almost home… About another hour

We have off and on sunshine today, with rain forecast to show up some time. Several dark clouds that rolled through the neighborhood have offered only 1 instance of a drop that registered on our weather gauge. That is sad.
Went out to get the mail, and the atmosphere was still pleasantly warm but not hot and not full of humidity. That must mean some help from Canada sending it our way. And tomorrow we roll over into September with hope of continued pleasant weather.

If you thought the people of McLennan County cleaned up their courthouse after the infamous Twin Peaks biker gangs/LEO shootout and ensuing prosecutorial train wreck nine years ago, well…think again.
As the old saying goes, the wheels of justice turn slowly. Likewise, so do the wheels of injustice, as a self-defense case out of Waco, Texas, recently proved.
This week, the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office dismissed murder charges against two Houston men involved in the self-defense incident at a party near the Baylor University campus, finally determining it was a justifiable homicide. While that was good news to Calvin Nichols Jr., it hardly makes up for the 635 days the man spent locked up in jail while the DA’s office slowly dragged its feet over the case.
According to police reports, on the night in question Nichols and his cousin, Jaytron Damon Scott, were invited to a party attended by a number of Baylor students, including football players. According to partygoers, Joseph Craig Thomas Jr. showed up uninvited and began threatening others with a gun, including a female student who asked him to move his car.

One of the most popular booths at this year’s Minnesota State Fair bears a simple sign: “Never Walz.” The booth offers t-shirts and prizes for fairgoers – all emblazoned with the “Never Walz” logo. The line for the booth grows so long at times that it poses traffic problems for police officers patrolling the fairgrounds.
Bryan Strawser, chairman of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, is not surprised by the booth’s popularity. He’s watched Gov. Tim Walz’s career since the vice-president candidate first served in Congress. Walz, Strawser told the Second Amendment Foundation, poses a clear and present danger to the Second Amendment rights of the entire country, should he and Kamala Harris take control of the White House.

Maybe some sea-faring cultures would find octopus as turkey stuffing to be delicious. Perhaps the turkey would be the odd part. Can’t imagine it being served on Thanskgiving at many homes around here.

Man I’m starting to like super Dave’s favorite band.
I wonder if there’s an equivalent cabernet wine to Billy Beer? -
I like this guy and would love to see a whole lot more like him running our government.

Nick Frietas is a rising star. I’m impressed so far, especially with his extemporaneous speaking talents. He has run and come close to the US House and even the US Senate races in Virginia. He’s tough, doesn’t give up and he’s only 45. Here’s his Wikipedia bio.

We’re home and settling in, except I can’t find my house keys. I’ve emptied all my bags and searched everything thoroughly, but nothing. They’re not in Handsome’s truck, either, so I must’ve dropped them at one of my gas station stops. So, making a duplicate set is on our to-do list.
Now we’re a one vehicle family, until Hubby can get his purple bug running again. That’s gonna suck; we’re both used to our independence.
I made a steak for dinner, one that I bought at the farm just down from the condo on League Line Road. Dishes are washed, clothes being washed, Hubby’s relaxing in front of the TV, and I’m catching up on paperwork and payroll.
-
I have 6 complete sets of keys for everything. I have one, HH has one, a set is concealed inside the house, two are well hidden outside the house and the daughter 30 minutes away has a set. I also carry a set of her keys.
-
I had an emergency house key in a pretty good hiding spot outside – but I must’ve used it and not returned it. I probably have keys upstairs in our big key box where we keep our apartment keys. One that I probably don’t have it the garage lock key.
I’ve been too busy catching up to go upstairs, but now that I’ve finished payroll I might do that now.

This is what one party communist rule does.
the nation is next if the steal is successful again. -
This is what one party communist rule does.
your neighborhood could be next.
should be huge news nationwide.no pushback whatsoever.
the republicant’s like mr Haney, John cornhole, little Mikey Johnson say pass the ketchup, I’m on vacation.-
Pass this at the federal level: Whereas every individual fraudulent vote disenfranchises a legitimate vote it is hereby declared that any state that does not require valid, state issued, citizenship confirming, photo ID for all federal elections, that state shall not have their electoral votes considered for presidential elections nor shall their elected representatives have a vote in either the House or the Senate. Non citizens shall not be counted for purposes of apportionment to the House.
The only people who could possibly oppose this are those that want non citizens to vote and/or want to cheat. Frame the discussion in this manner and appeal to those who are not actively trying to destroy the country as founded and want to replace it with soul crushing communism or one of its bastard children.

Didn’t feel up to shopping this morning.
After church this evening I thought I would give it a shot, even though I really didn’t want to.
Just FYI, the evening crowd at HEB is a bit more…uh…interesting.
-
Did some of the Walmart shoppers bleed over to the HEB?

Listening to the ‘Stros on the radio.
The guys said that the Astros pitching in August has held their opponents to a .182 batting average. Second best month in Major League history.Earlier stats shared indicate we’ve been living off our pitching for some time now.
The bats need to start heating up if they’re going to go deep in the playoffs.

Just like the old days when we were kids. The team that could lose more games at 1-0 than the rest of MLB.

I have so few night times miles on this van (out of 97k) that I’m just now discovering that the high beams dim automatically.
-
Our Hyundai car, and this new to us SUV have the auto dimming headlights, like it a lot but at times it’s too sensitive and I’m sure annoying to oncoming vehicles.

Note to pedestrians:
Walking on the Fog Line is not recommended.
Particularly in the dark. -
I didn’t know the Ags were going to be on free TV.
Beat the helloutta the Irish! -
Oh my.
Sam Houston whipped Rice like a rented mule. -
The A&M Notre Dame game is good. I’ve been switching back and forth between it and the Alabama/Western Kentucky game but since Alabama is doing a number on WKU it’s not much of a game.
-
Handsome Son’s wife is coming to visit from her internship/job in Florida tomorrow. His birthday is on the 3rd, so we’re planning on taking both of them out for dinner one night.
And Hubby must’ve thanked me five times already for rescuing him from McAlester, OK – possibly the nicest town we’ve ever visited.
We get to do it again, hopefully within the week. Or so.

Yet one more reason to vote for Trump, even if you don’t like him – because the UN doesn’t like him either.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
-
That saying has likely been around the planet for many, many centuries and is still true.
-
-
Yes the A&M / Irish game was pretty amazing. Trench warfare, baby.
Ag D-line was gassed when it mattered late, trying to hold the tie. -
-
Dang, I would gladly pat to see the Trisha’s whom I’ve seen live. What a performance.
-
-
Might as well play Hammie’s favorite version of one of his top ten tunes.
If only it had three more verses just to hear Susan sing more
-
-
That was great.
-
-
Where is everybody? Well A&M didn’t pull it off but it sure was a good game. It would have been much better if they had beat Notre Dame, I have no use for ND. Alabama slaughtered Western Kentucky 63-0 but I guess that’s not saying a lot.

Rosebud and Sarah hoping they might get a treat.

Looks like somebody ate the floor mat. 😀 Oh and I’m liking that stove-top.

Hug them both for me.

I guess I’m a little thick; I don’t get it. . .

It’s for your OCD, screw heads clocked.

FWIW; I spotted it instantly. 😀

Is it anal retentive or anal-retentive?

Auto-dimming high beams, cont’.There are more than a few hills between Brenham and Bellville.
It was a bit annoying that the sensor will turn the high beams back on while going downhill, whereas a logical human brain would not…because it can see the lights of the oncoming traffic on the other side of the next hill.-
Her Highness loves auto-dimming. It’s okay, but I find it irritating in hilly terrain too.
-
It also doesn’t anticipate oncoming lights in very curvy areas of the mountainous areas around here even though humans can detect them.
-
-
A not wanted, expensive thingie to replace when, not if, it breaks. No thank you.

I have reached a point of absolute no mercy, take no prisoners…just kill every single Hamas member in Gaza and anywhere else you can find them. These evil people are the direct descendants of the Amalekites.
While the Jews were still in Rephidim, the Amalekites, a mightily and fierce people, descendants of Esau, and well-trained in the art of warfare, suddenly attacked the people of Israel. It was an unprovoked and cowardly attack upon a tired and weary people, just liberated from slavery, on the way to their homeland.
Moses put his disciple Joshua in charge of the troops who were to fight against the Amalekites. Then Moses, together with his brother Aaron and nephew Hur, went up to a hill, to pray for G‑d’s help in the battle. The battle lasted a whole day until the Amalekites were finally defeated and routed. G‑d ordered Moses to record the treacherous attack of the Amalekites for everlasting memory. Together with this memory went an oath to wipe the Amalekites — the incarnation of all evil — off the face of the earth. There could be no peace between Israel and Amalek for all time to come.

Mattress Mack is in the hospital for cognitive issues, he’s doing ads from his hospital bed lol.

We saw that ad from his hospital bed. The reason for him being there was not mentioned in the brief segment.
Prayers for our dear Mattress Mack, a very fine gentleman.

Elon Perry is an Israeli historian and military analyst. In this column he confirms what I have theorized is actually going on with the hostages from October 7th. I am in complete sympathy with all of the families protesting Bibi’s government, but he is doing the right thing.
The Real Reason Hamas Can’t Free the Remaining Hostages
Only around 20 of the Israeli hostages are being held by Hamas and a number of these are being kept in handcuffs as human shields around its leader, Yahya Sinwar, intelligence sources have told the JC.
According to some reports, the terror chief has surrounded himself with all of the captives underground, though other sources have placed the number much lower. Israel has already had several opportunities to eliminate Sinwar after locating the tunnels in which he was hiding but the attack was not authorised because of the danger to hostages and Palestinian civilians.
plus,
Many Israeli abductees are being held by a menagerie of smaller terror groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Mujahideen Brigades, the al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, intelligence sources have claimed.
These groups are locked in a dispute with Yahya Sinwar’s Hamas. While Sinwar is demanding the release of Hamas prisoners as a priority, they want prisoners from their own ranks to also be represented on the list. This has led them to contemplate a coup against Hamas in recent months.
They are also arguing that no compromise must be made with Israel, insisting that any deal includes the release of all terrorists from Israeli jails, including 1,236 murderers who have been sentenced to life imprisonment.

They spotted one copperhead in New Jersey and have issued a panicky statewide alert. I kid you not.

35 years of joined@thehipparties republican’t betrayal and crony Vampyreism has led to armed illegal alien gangs taking over apartment complexes in U.S. cities.
the Texas cornhole and the Kentucky swamp turtle have been cornholing America for years and decades.
the country is reaping what the Vampyre parties have sown.
they worship the blood money for Ukraine and open borders which is laundered back to them.
320000 children missing via open borders and the can’ts don’t bat an eye and even worse they continue to fund it. Watch how fast the phony preacher speaker Johnson caves on the CR coming up this month.
wonder what would happen if texas guverner wascally wabbott were to send a couple dozen of the illegal Venezuelan gangs to Martha’s Vineyard and have them take over some homes there?.?
what you’d see is the border problem getting solved post haste.
we know wabbott he won’t use the power vested in him by the Texas constitution to shut down the Texas border and let no illegals cross over.
he has no plan if the steal is successful in 2024.
ya better pray for a Red Sea moment for a Trump victory.

I think Germany’s too far gone.
Most of EU countries to follow.

We went out for lunch at a lovely local restaurant early this afternoon, and on the way home noted some dark bluish clouds along the with gray ones in the area that looked like they might drop rain over our place. We really did have rain for several minutes near 4 this afternoon from this cloud group.
Rain gauge today has tied yesterday’s record of .01″. Now the sun is out, and the walkway and driveway are almost dry. Spouse had gone out to the local hardware store and drove through the vigorous wall of water over Pecan Grove on the way home. It did not follow him.
Sprinkler systems can pay for themselves fast. Ours did.

I forgot to hook y’all up with Malone’s Friday Funnies.
Off to get the WIP, there will prolly be some overlap.
