    Morning gang. Well, you all got the promised rain, we once again escaped without catching a drop. It’s already starting to look like summertime out here. I’m hoping that each of you have a great week, starting with a great day today. Might be an interesting day in politics. The Dems may have met their match, but keep your eye on the weasel eReps. They are the ones lying in the tall grass waiting to spring. I’m all for rounding them up a la the big drug gang arrests and tossing them all in the clink for a few days.

    We had some hard rain last but it didn’t last very long, but we got a 1/4″ of badly needed rain.

    Great comedy.

    HEADLINE: Navy to christen USS Tig Ol Bitties after service allows people to vote online for ship’s name
    WASHINGTON – Heads are shaking while others cheer after a failed publicity stunt led to the Navy’s next Zumwalt-class destroyer being named the USS Tig Ol Bitties, sources confirmed today.

    The Navy earlier this year had allowed active duty Sailors and Marines to vote on the name for its new $4-billion dollar stealth attack ship, all in an effort to boost force morale and social media presence.
    /snip
    Shortly after the vote was finalized, President Donald Trump expressed his support for the popular ship name.
    “Proud to see our Sailors and Marines exercise their right to vote. Our enemies will cower in fear when they see America’s Tig Ol Bitties bearing down on ’em.”

    I was surprised to see 2.8″ in the rain gauge from last night! Walking to the fence to get that, I was also surprised to see that the grass on a small area at the side of the house, where the 2 AC condensers sit on raised concrete pads, was all green and perky. When I looked at it yesterday, that grass looked fried. It was my intent to water all the small areas like this today, but woo hoo, I won’t have to. (Sorry to sound so jubilant, EG…)

    Speaking of MS-13, let’s hope this moron never has any children.

  10. Tedtam Avatar

    Well, if you don’t value their life in the womb, why would you value it after being born?

    And I’m glad the idiot has no children. Him breeding would be a major problem for the continuance of the human race.

    #9, 10: This is the palestenian issue in a nutshell: they hate Israel more than they love their chirrenzes. Same with the moron who posted that he would rather his 13 year old daughter date MS13 than a Republican. The idiot needs to be sterilized so that he never breeds.

  12. El Gordo Avatar

    And you don’t think people like this are fully capable of staging a school shooting where a few children’s lives are sacrificed to achieve a political objective, even if that objective is just to move the front page headlines for a few days? Doesn’t seem to be working very well this time though.

    So they’ve just arrested a jr. high kid in League City for bringing a gun to school. WTH?!?!? This kid must have the IQ of sheetrock.

    Well I don’t know about your sheetrock but my walls have ears and can talk.

  16. El Gordo Avatar

    You don’t think someone put him up to it? Just to see how the authorities would react? Trust me, these are not isolated incidents – they are planned and orchestrated. The Deep State Swamp Denizens are on the run, and they have to change the subject. What’s a few dead kids to a Dem – just a post partum abortion. Wonder the kid wasn’t blown away by the police and then they could all go march in the street or burn down a fried chicken joint or something. That might get them a day’s worth of press coverage.

    Look at all the attention the last two got. We make stars out of mass murderers and then wonder why our narcissistic children become copycat killers. Add to that, we now have at least two generations of children raised on the knowledge that mommy had the legal right to kill them before they were born, and that right is to be celebrated as a virtue, should we really be surprised when this happens?

    There will be a reckoning.

    Ban this guy from flying forever.

    Why we can’t have nice things.

    Now this is a biohazard situation for the airline.

    #19 TT: The first thing that should have happened when the guy was taken off the plane would be a very thorough ‘hickory shampoo!’ What a piece of garbage. That is the sort of thing done in 3rd world countries. A lifetime ban on flying and all other forms of mass transportation + a few years in a not nice prison.

    Hey, once we swore that Mau-Mau in as President we cemented our place and status as a third world country. In San Fran Nan’s home town you can do that and worse right on the street, day or night, with no penalty. Maybe he just thought it was universally acceptable. I don’t think they can do anything to him if he fights them on it. Frankly, many of the airlines out there (SWA excepted) who deserve it for the way they treat people. Maybe he’s a truck driver or a private pilot. I’d like to know the whole story before passing judgment.

    Tomorrow is Heavy Trash Tree Waste day for me, so I toted out to the curb 2 months worth of trimmed-off branches from various trees that I had spiffed up. We have a high fence on either side of the driveway, at the back of the house. There once was a high gate across the driveway, that the previous owners back in 1995 were using to keep their huge hound dogs at home. The gate was in their way when they were loading up and moving out, so they took the gate down and leaned it up against an even higher brick wall on the property line. In the intervening 23 years, the boards in that old gate have sorta fallen apart. Some day, I’ll put what’s left of the gate out for Junk Waste pickup.

    But those high fence sections give me great places where I can stash things out of public view from the street. I’ve had tree trimmings that I kept there for several years before it worked out that I had time to carry them to the curb for Heavy Trash.

    Because we need to upgrade our viewing content. . . .

    Hollywood, Calif., May 21, 2018 — President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to produce films and series with Netflix, the world’s leading internet entertainment service.

    The Obamas will produce a diverse mix of content, including the potential for scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and features. These projects will be available to the 125 million member Netflix households in 190 countries.

    The Obamas have established Higher Ground Productions as the entity under which they will produce content for Netflix.

    Interesting. . . .

    Higher Ground, huh? Irony or double entendre?

    Higher Ground because Ministry of Propaganda was already taken

    Saw something for the second time I never saw in Texas before. An otter. Cute little dude, got about 10′ from him on a kayak this time before he dove. We have nutria, had a litter of 5 grow up next door, so know the difference. Maybe the otter is a Harvey refugee. Another first, what has to be a large flounder that broke the wife’s line is hanging around. A fish grabbed the bait and broke of before she could adjust the drag. Now the bobber is out there but moves away when I get close.

  28. Tedtam Avatar

    Higher Ground.

    Better/higher than we peons.
    More easily defensible against attacks. The strategic choice. Easier to attack your enemies.
    Can more easily ignore those lower than them. Harder to see.

    Good afternoon Hamsters. Delightful shower just rolled in after a most disappointing .07″ last night fell with the rain chances high and Shannon getting a gully washer. Cloudy pretty much all day with no results until now. And of course the sprinklers were on this morning.

    #24 fat albert

    Most interesting. Wonder what folks at Netflix have been drinking lately, just as Obama’s dubious legacy is in tatters and on the way to never-never land. Best wishes that this enterprise stumbles out of the gate and falls flat.

    I saw a river otter in a pond up here, after the monsoons two summers ago.

    This otter was in the Factory Bayou section of Dickinson Bay. Saltwater generally, a bit brackish when we have a lot of rain.

    Along the Texas Gulf Coast region, otters also live in marshes, bayous, and brackish inlets.

    Maybe the otters will develop a taste for nutria.

    The otter I saw is not in the same weight class as nutria. Be nice but don’t think that would go well. I chased a nutria on a kayak, they have webbed back feet and swim very fast.

    I’ve seen mink along the gulf coast. My brother-in-law had one jump in his boat and steal fish at Cedar Key.

    I saw an otter, a few years ago, at the entrance of Taylor Lake, just past the NASA 1 bridge, near the point where Red Adair had his fishing cabin. It is the first & last one I’ve seen in the 36 years that I’ve been here, I have seen a few Nutria but that was up in east Texas near the Attoyac River, where our old 1500 acre deer lease was.

    Maybe the Obummers won’t make money with their Higher Ground Productions. Sorta like the screwy movie Wrinkle in Time which not only could bomb, it did bomb. I was unfamiliar with the book, but apparently you don’t take a beloved children’s book and turn it into something else, with totally different characters.

    The Federalist applied a more critical eye, with writer James Dawson calling the film “the latest victim of diversity-deranged stunt casting in which no respect is paid to the race or sex of existing literary characters. But that’s only one reason why this frustrating fiasco is such an embarrassing failure.”

    Came across this list of talk show hosts, rated by some group. Many of my favorites from Salem Radio made the list. Host #13 is a stunning inclusion.
