BREAKING: FBI kills man because he made threats to a president who isn’t Trump

In a bizarre case of mistaken presidential identity, the FBI has reportedly taken swift action by eliminating a man who made threats against the wrong president.

“If the man had made threats against Trump, it wouldn’t have been a problem,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said. “But he made threats against Biden, so we had to kill him.”

The man, who goes by the pseudonym “Threat-Selective Steve,” had a moment of reckoning when he realized that his previous “it’s just a joke” attitude didn’t hold up when the target shifted. “I thought we were living in a world where making threats against certain presidents was just a quirky way of expressing political dissent,” Threat-Selective Steve said, befuddled.

Sources close to Threat-Selective Steve suggest that he may have believed in a mythical hierarchy of presidents, where making threats against one president was seen as edgy political commentary, while threatening others was deemed a grave offense. “It’s like he thought he was part of some secret club where it was okay to threaten certain leaders, but not others,” commented one acquaintance.

Good Night All, Hope tomorrow is not as hot as today.  It was really uncomfortable to be outside for even just a few minutes. Lately just coming out the back door and into the garage to get in the car leaves me hot and so glad for the AC my Buick has at the ready so it starts about a… Read more »

Katy is a large town on the west side of Houston.  A 16 year old teenager from there has died of a heart attack.

Billy Cat didn’t show up for his supper until after dark, so then I sat out back with him to be sure no raccoons tried to take his food. He licked his bowl clean, then sauntered away, probably to rest up a bit by lying in the grass. Next time I looked out, I didn’t see him. And I had… Read more »

Oh, my, I love Kari Lake!  Here she is, milking a cow and trolling the reporters.

Kari Lake mocks Regime Media to their faces while milking a cow: “You know there are only two genders, right? The New York Times should try to milk a cow and then try and milk a bull and see how that goes.”

The time it never rained, indeed.

I took a stroll around the house – first time in number of days. Then, I fixed a late lunch of a couple eggs, a couple of sausage patties, and toast at 2pm.

I sat down and promptly fell asleep and just now woke up.

About an hour and ten minutes ago, while I was zipping west on 290, the dashboard thermometer indicated 108F.  That is hot, I don’t care who you are.

Well, several frustrating hours later, the problem is supposedly solved.  The credit card charge was supposed to be accurate, Kevin had me go through an update process, and he PROMISES I won’t receive any more ugly emails about being cut off from my payroll function.

By the way, the high temp where he is in Tennessee is 89.

I think the original 1957 “12 Angry Men” with Henry Fonda is also a must watch movie.  I still remember the looks that Hubby and I exchanged when it was over.  Great, great movie.

#42 Gaslight is a great movie.  I take umbrage at folks who use that term loosely, not knowing from whence it came nor what it actually means.  It’s tossed around so casually these days.

For you fans of old movies… Early this morning I caught Gaslight (1944), a psychological thriller starring Charles Boyer and a 29-year-old Ingrid Bergman (woof).

I was going to link that one, too.

Interesting that John Stossel is involved with that site.

Another link on that page leads to “Electability”.

I thought this one was very interesting, for what it’s worth.

But what I find amusing and comforting is the fact that commercials tend to use music from the 70’s and 80’s.

I guess we did something right back then.

I was wondering what commercials will sound like in another 30 years – will they have hip hop in the background?  You know, for the old folks?
